It was first discovered by the ancient Egyptian in early 3000 BC that was woven from papyrus plants which they used as something to write on.
Papyrus is the first paper used by the Egyptians, but it didn't survive to reach this generation. I believe only a few papyrus plants existed today, and sad to say I am not able to see one of them.

The magnetic recording was demonstrated in principle as early as 1898 by Valdemar Poulsen in his telegraphone. Magnetic wire recording, and its successor, magnetic tape recording, involve the use of a magnetizable medium which moves past a recording head. An electrical signal, which is analogous to the sound that is to be recorded, is fed to the recording head, inducing a pattern of magnetization similar to the signal. A playback head (which may be the same as the recording head) can then pick up the changes in the magnetic field from the tape and convert them into an electrical signal.
Magnetic recorder is more complicated compared to the devices we have today. There are portable recorders in our mobile phones, laptops, etc.
