The CD turns 25...

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 analog 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.
