The Enduring Value of Physical Media in a Streaming World

In 1982, the Phillips and Sony Corporations jointly released the compact audio disc to the world. 

The technology involved was originally just used to play digital audio, but it actually had much more potential. 

Over the last 40 years, basic optical disc technology used in CDs has expanded to store digital video and every type of digital data. 

Yet, despite the ubiquity of the internet and the ability to access digital files all over the world, there is still a demand for this technology.

Learn more about optical discs, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray discs on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
