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 were the days when our lives were filled with tapes and floppy disks, which today are difficult to find. These were not able to store huge amount of data and besides were easily corruptible. With the improvement of technology and storage media, we got the compact disks. Compact Disks were welcome because they could be used to store huge amount of data and bigger files. Besides they were water proof and the data storage and retrieval was stable.
It makes us laugh now to think of how we all used hundreds of floppy disks and cassettes at home as well as in offices to store small amount of data and keep reusing them though not reliable. As our need for storage of data began to increase, there was no other option but to look at alternate storage mechanisms with higher capacity and stability too.
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.
In line with the huge demand, production facilities were setup and very soon enough stocks began to be produced flooding every retail space with CD Disks which people bought like hot cakes.
The markets which received the supplies of CDs first in the mid 90s were the Japanese markets and it took almost a year for the stocks to reach American consumers followed by European markets too. Today all over the world you can find them easily.
The Japanese company which was responsible for the invention of this DVD player was accredited and rightly provided the trigger for a far reaching growth of mobile entertainment technology.
Who benefited the most you think from this development? Of course, who else but the families that spent their vacations driving down across the country. Instead of loads and stacks of floppy disks they had to lug around, now they could carry their children's favorite movies and cartoons in few DVDs.
