Type 1 = VHS Tapes and Type 2 = DVDs? -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 08:36 1
- I think VHS wasn't invented until the 70s? But it's a great guess -- nm - ty97 Jan 11, 08:37

VCRs? Maybe? Beta and VHS? -- nm - VMan Jan 11, 08:30
Insulin -- nm - kelly Jan 11, 08:30 1
- The Type 1 and Type 2 made me go there too, but no way is diabetes going down lately. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 08:31
Skittles. - Qale Jan 11, 08:27
Condoms. -- nm - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 11, 08:24
Answering machines -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 11, 08:23 1
- A bit late for that. -- nm - Spawn Jan 11, 08:32
Telephones -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 08:22 4
- That what I was leaning towards as well, but figured they’d been around longer than 70 years. -- nm - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 11, 08:26 2
  - The steep dropoff in 2010 has me doubting my answer. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 08:28 1
    - is that when subsidies stopped though? -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 11, 08:28

- 1951 seems late for the start of type 1 - TWuG Jan 11, 08:19 4
  - film sales is a niche' thing now, also movies are all digital, one hollywood movie used more footage a day than a full time wedding photog in a career -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 11, 22:03 1
    - xray machines are now digital, a set of xrays for a leg/arm probably equaled a wedding photog's full day. -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 11, 22:04
  - Not criticizing your guess, just the presentation of the data -- nm - TWuG Jan 11, 08:22 1
    - The shape of the curve is interesting too. Maybe the late 70s was the rise of sealed disposables. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 08:43
