jul 1, 1979 - Sony's Walkman was introduced

Description:

Masaru Ibuka, Sony's co-founder got tired of lugging around Sony's TC-D5 cassette recorder around while he traveled for business, so he asked Norio Ohga, (Executive Deputy President) to design a playback-only stereo version with headphones. Nobutoshi Kihara was an engineer at Sony who actually invented the Walkman.
