Do you think DVD will be as highly regarded in the future as VHS is now? I doubt it.
I think it will, and in greater force, as not only will they likely last longer than VHS, they are more durable in strength if not how slow they may or may not age. VHS can have tapes rip up and tangle, and use multiple mechanical parts, while a disk just gets scratched. I guess you can't shred a VHS without dismantling it, though.
I don't think that being more "durable" will actually give it nostalgic value.
VHS video quality has an identity; when it breaks over time, it gives a special sort of filter to the image, a fuzziness reminiscent of what makes vaporwave popular. When DVD breaks over time, it tends to just make the video stop.
VHS cover art has a strong visual identity, often using gorgeous painted art. What is DVD cover art famous for? Cheap ugly photoshopped covers that smell little effort?

I think it will be remembered for what really made it special: The Menus. All those bonus features, the games, the previews, the documentaries, all that stuff that truly made DVD different. That's gonna be the DVD legacy when it fades into obscurity
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."

To be honest, I think that DVD will be simply remembered as a medium inferior to BD, just like how CD is regarded as inferior to DVD when it comes to data storage. VHS at least has its charm as an analog medium, but what can we say about DVD? You can have extras on BD, at a much higher quality than DVD and, depending on the product, without the need for multiple discs. DVD is more durable than VHS? It's debatable, I've seen VHS tapes from the early 80's up and running 30 years later, while some of my home-burnt digital video discs from 10 years ago aren't recognized by my computer anymore...
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war Was the only solution for them keeping the score? Just wake up Can’t you wake up?

Keep in mind, there's a BIG difference between CD-Rs/DVD-Rs and professionally pressed CDs/DVDs. The latter works by having the data physically etched into the disc, meaning that unless it gets broken/scratched or something, it'll probably last forever. The former works by storing the data into a certain type of dye, which makes it good for home use because it doesn't require expensive equipment to make one disc, but bad for longevity (average lifespan of a CD-R is around 10 years).

You're right when it comes to professional CD/DVD pressing versus home burning, I was thinking more about media for home use when I touched the durability subject. Is a home-burnt DVD capable of holding its data for as long as a home-taped VHS tape?

Nickelodeon fruit snacks from 2002 were the stuff. There was also a Nickelodeon candy from 2004ish featuring SpongeBob, and FOP's Cosmo & Wanda called "Slime dunk" or something like that.
Being born in the late 1990s and growing up as a kid in the 2000s, I remember experiencing some of Disney and Pixar's films on VHS (when it was still relevant and not overtaken by DVDs in the mid-2000s) that I still have copies of today at my house. I have kept them in a big box (along with my other personal VHS tapes) when DVDs were becoming a new favorite way to watch your favorite movies and the tapes themselves still remain in good condition (probably because I haven't used them in a long time). This included The Aristocats, The Lion King, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, Lady and the Tramp, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.
Though VHS tapes were fun to watch back in the day, one flaw that prevents me from viewing them as a fully nostalgic medium for home video viewing is the fact that if you want to see the whole movie again after the tape ends, you have to rewind all the way back to the beginning of the tape (or just skip the advertisements before the feature presentation) and the VHS doesn't have a chapter system like DVDs do, meaning if you want to see a favorite part of the movie again, you either have rewind (in other terms, fast forward) or unwind (i.e. reverse) the tape to get to a specific part of the scene before it actually begins.
Still, I can see why people have more nostalgia over VHS tapes than DVDs, but I personally thought that DVDs were cooler because of the fact that it had menu screens and bonus features included on the disc (if they have any at all), and obviously the chapter system included so it's much easier and faster to find the scene I left on or wanted to see again.
Despite the frustrations of normal day life we go through, the best thing to do about it is still being happy for our friends and family.
This was a video I shot of a former HH Gregg. They were an electronic store mostly focused in the Indiana and Ohio area. They went out of business in 2017.
I have a question for anyone who grew up in the early to mid-2000's. Back in the mid-2000's, I would always watch cartoons on the various channels (CN, Nick, and Disney). Although around 2006 when Hana Montana debuted, all Disney channel ever did was promote that and I ended up not watching Disney channel. Does anyone else think that the Disney Channel started to decline around 2006?

It might have been earlier than that, like a year or two before, but you might be right.
