When we think of music we normally associate our mental images with DVD players and the stereo players of different kinds. If you sit down for a while and think of what DVD is all about, you will actually realize that DVDs came about because we needed some storage devise to store and transport data.
Those days the storage media was limited to floppy drives and tapes. Both supported very small file size and limited storage. Besides they did not prove to be very stable and could be easily damaged and corrupted. It was only a matter of time before technology advanced sufficiently enough to produce compact discs which could store higher capacity of data and were not easily corruptible and one could store and retrieve data easily without any loss.
As is our human mentality we tend to put up with things and use things until we find it impossible to use any item and everybody has this tendency to horde and store. So was the case with floppy disks and drives. It was voluminous but people still stored them in stacks. But the requirement of data that had to be stored was so huge that there was no other option but to look for a storage mechanism to handle huge files.
Thus there was an urgent need felt by all to immediately come up with a storage solution that could handle the future needs in addition with the present problems too. Though a few competitors were trying to research and come up with new format, finally everybody buried their separate identity to come together and create the DVD format which paved way for a new data storage solution.
There was unprecedented demand which forced producers to immediately increase production and rush stocks to the market. In a short time the stocks were available at all retail shelves and people could easily buy and take home packs of CDs.
You will be surprised to know that the first time the CDs were introduced in Japanese markets before they reached the American shores and thereafter to European markets by the end of the year. Today you find them all over the world.
This can easily be called the trigger for a mobile entertainment and data storage revolution in the industry. The Japanese company which invented the DVD player was later accredited for the same too.
The happiest consumers who loved this development were the parents who took driving vacations with family for they no longer had to stack loads of floppy disks. It was now very easy for them to carry their favorite movies and cartoons for the kids in the DVDs.
