The 25th Anniversary Of The CD
Hidden among today’s usual horrible headlines was a small item that almost went unnoticed. August 17th marks the Silver Anniversary of the often silver discs we know as CD’s.
Compact Discs may be on the way out in the digital download age. But they were quite a technologicial marvel when they were first manufactured back on August 17, 1982 in Hanover, Germany. Almost instantly CD’s were a big hit and by 1986, CD players were outselling record players. By 1988 CD’s outsold records.
