Word origin
The concept of digital discs dates back to the late 1960s when researchers started exploring optical storage methods. The first commercially available digital disc was the Compact Disc (CD) introduced in the early 1980s. Since then, digital discs have evolved to include DVDs and Blu-ray discs, offering higher storage capacities and better data quality. Digital discs revolutionized the way we store and access digital content, making it easier to distribute music, movies, software, and other data.
