Maybe if you stopped evolving in 1984, it is.

I like minidisc, myself.  Some people like hard disk recorders or those
little on-chip memory recorders.

(Yet, most people still call recording "taping" even though recording
audio existed before tape.  I guess that's a boomer effect.  We do still
talk about "dialling" telephones, though dials are long gone.)

It's only hearsay if the relaying party was not directly involved in the
conversation.

Generally, it's called "recall".
