"Exactly 25 years ago tomorrow, on August 17, 1982, Royal Philips Electronics manufactured the world’s first compact disc at a Philips factory in Langenhagen, just outside of Hanover, Germany.

"The invention of the CD ushered in a technological revolution in the music industry as CDs – with their superior sound quality and scratch free durability – marked the beginning of the shift from analogue to digital music technology.

"The CD became a catalyst for further innovation in digital entertainment, helping pave the way for the launch of DVD and the current introduction of Blu-ray optical media. Having played a key role in the innovation of digital music, at home and on the move, consumers continue to witness huge advances in entertainment and lifestyle technologies бла-бла-бла".

Over 200 billion CDs have been sold worldwide over the past 25 years.

Сложенные стопочкой, все эти диски дотянутся до Луны; в принципе, можно даже взглянуть на Dark Side of the Moon.

Когда вам впервые попал в руки CD? Мне относительно поздно, году в 90-м или около, насколько я помню. Диск казался голым и беззащитным, и его было страшно доставать из коробки.
