You do know and see a lot of DVD players and we have them in almost every home. But do you know who invented it? Have you ever given a thought to what is DVD all about? Well you will find it interesting. DVDs came about because someone needed a storage devise to gather data and transport the data.
We now recollect those days when we used floppy disks and tapes for recording and storing data. It was quite painful to use these as they proved to be often corrupted or damaged easily. Besides they could store very few files of small sizes. So it was a welcome change to see the new storage medium in Compact Discs which could store bigger files and higher capacity. Besides they were stable and incorruptible too.
For a number of years people were happy with the same storage though not very stable. Like every common man's tendency we tend to hoard things be it our books, cloths or cassettes. Whether in office or at home you could find hundreds of floppy disks and cassettes stacked up storing different kinds of files and data. Therefore it was only a matter of time before we realized and demanded a better storage mechanism with bigger capacity of storage.
There was an urgent need felt to come up with a better mechanism and device on a new format. Many groups started working on this with each one competing with the other. But then finally we saw the experts getting together and coming up with DVD format setting aside all their differences and made inroads with new data storage methodology.
As the demand was very high, it did not take long for the production lines to be setup and huge stocks reached all retail shelves ready for people to pick up and take home.
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.
The accreditation of having invented DVD player for portable use went rightly to a Japanese company. You can say that this was the trigger for a revolution in mobile entertainment and storage industry.
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.
