Tuesday

25 years old and almost dead.

The Compact Disc turns 25 years old today.

First produced at a factory in Hannover, Germany the CD has become a dust collector on the shelves of music stores worldwide. A friend actually got made fun of the other day on a flight home from Thailand for having a DiscMan.

In today's world of innovation and constant change one can only dream of being apart of something that sees it's 25th birthday and is still somewhat relevant. Even if it is only still relevant because the recording industry refused for years (and still does to some degree) to accept reality and embrace the MP3.
