In the past few years, many people can easily rent or even own a VCR because VCRs have become ______.

Have you seen any good movies lately? Chances are that you saw it on a video cassette recorder, also known as a VCR. In the past few years VCRs have become cheap enough that many people can easily rent or even own one. These VCRs in the home have many uses; they give us much more freedom in watching our favorite movies and television programs. After being connected to any TV set, a VCR allows us to record a television program and watch it again - as many times as we like - in the future. Many video cassette recorders can record programs when we aren’t home or even while we are watching another program on the same television. Most of all, people use VCRs to watch their favorite movies already recorded on a video cassette. These video cassette movies are often called "videos". Almost every movie you can think of has been made into a video; while these videos can be bought at a price between 30 mad 100 dollars, most people prefer to rent them from "video stores" often under a dollar a day. Available are videos that provide entertainment for the children; there is also a wide se lection of educational and "how-to" videos making learning more enjoyable. Of course, there are hundreds of movies-old and new-that have been reproduced onto video cassettes. Don’t worry if you don’t own a VCR; even these can be cheaply rented. VCRs have truly taken us out of the movie theater by bringing the movie to our homes.
