I don't think I've met anyone who prefers VHS over DVD, the advantages are just too overwhelming. It's not just the picture quality, but the ease of access to the content. With VHS, you can only fast forward or reverse, but with DVD you much more powerful means to navigate through the content. There are some people who will still watch VHS tapes, but that's mostly because the picture quality isn't important to them, and they are happy to only pay 50 cents for a movie.
VHS does have one advantage over DVD, and that is that you can record to it, but that has nothing to do with watching prerecorded movies.
On the other hand, there ARE people who prefer paper books over e-books, and it's not just old fogeys. New technology only elimintes the old when the new technology's advantages are overwhelming and when the two cannot coexist. Paper books do have certain advantages. Forget to plug in the e-reader, and you're not going to be reading until you can get it charged up. The paper book doesn't need charging. I keep a couple paper books in my trunk, just in case.
