10 Biggest Tech 'Fails' of 2014


#9.BetaMax

During the 1970s, Sony developed a machine designed to deliver home video-taping equipment. Betamax tapes could be played only 60 minutes which isn’t really long enough for a movie and since it was a higher quality product, it came with a high price tag. All this led to its failure. Also, Sony don’t let other manufacturers make their players.

#10.Mini Disc
