Audio cassettes are misused nowadays. Less and less people listen to them, preferring to create objects of art, like this cutest retro wallet, hand-made from cassette tapes.
It was created by Marcella Foschi and is available for $43 from Design Boom Shop.
Oh and by the way, Currys in Britain announced that it stops selling cassette tapes. The High Street chain also predicts that this Christmas will be the last time it sells any hi-fi system with a tape deck included.
For a comparison, last year Currys sold just 100,000 tapes compared with 83 million in 1989.

Do you know what is Napple? No it’s not a city in Italy, it’s Apple and Nike collaboration, which has resulted in great new footwear – the Moire or iPod Sport Kit. Owing to a built-in iPod device, it will track information during your workout, such as distance, time, speed, calories – all in real time.
iPod Sport Kit also has a voice, which tells you the data, so you don’t have to look at your iPod. After your run, you can download all information about it to your PC. Convenient, if only we liked to work out!
For those who prefer other fun than jogging, we introduce the Dram Sandals – their heels have a hidden canteen with a screw cap. So if you get thirsty during the walk, you just stop, take off your shoes and drink (whatever liquids you prefer). Not for finical people.
