to you your music CDs don’t really hold any music on them, and they only have
numbers recorded on them, you may not believe it. In fact, he is right in that
sound is actually recored onto the CDs as special numbers --a digital code. The
code is pressed onto the CD as bumps on a long spiral track almost five
kilometers long. These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns wide.
2 A small laser beam shines onto the bumps as the CD turns. The
light is reflected back to a receiver that records how the laser light bounces
back. This lets the CD player turn the reflected light back into the original
code. This means you can hear the original code as music. 3
Digital codes are used with many technologies. E-mail needs these kinds of
code numbers. Space probes communicate with their ground station on earth using
digital codes. Bar codes are read as digital codes in computer systems. Digital
communications with cell phones need digital codes. Weather radios also tune in
to specific signals using these codes. 4 There are many
types of compact disks. One format is called CD-RWs. They can be’ recorded on
and re-recorded on (rewritten on) as you would do with a floppy disk. Another
format is the CD-ROM. The technology for recording on these disks is different
from other CDs. These CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or
leave clear. The clear and dark spots are the digital code. CD-ROM stands for
Compact Disc -- Read Only Memory. This disk is like a "super" floppy disk that
can hold lots of information. One CD-ROM can h01d the same amount of data as 500
floppy disks. Information is permanently recorded onto it. Computer games and
other programs are considered to be CD-ROMs. 5 CDs were
first sold to the public in 1982, These CDs still play. well and sound fine.
Current CDs are expected to last between 70 to 200 years. Of course, you can
make sure your CDs last a long time by taking care of them. 6
Science keeps on developing. It may not be many more years before a
completely new technology is invented and introduced to the public for music
recording. In the meantime, there is no doubt you will continue to enjoy
listening to your favorite music on CDs and playing your favorite computer games
