View of a compact disc for storing computer data

CD-ROM. View of a compact disc used for storing computer data. Discs like this are known as CD- ROMs (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory). Images, sound and computer data can all be stored on compact discs. This information is coded digitally as zeroes and ones (binary digits). A compact disk is made of plastic pressed with a series of fine depressions that represent digitised signals of coded information capable of being read by laser. The encoded layer is coated with a film of metal to reflect laser light. CDs have a large data storage capacity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of a CD-ROM, a compact disc specifically designed for storing computer data. Known as Compact Disc Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM), these discs revolutionized the way information is stored and accessed. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of this technological marvel. CD-ROMs have the remarkable ability to store various forms of digital content, including images, sound, and computer data. This information is meticulously coded using binary digits - zeroes and ones - representing digitized signals. The disc itself consists of plastic material pressed with fine depressions that accurately represent this coded information. To enable reading by laser technology, an encoded layer on the CD's surface is coated with a reflective metal film. When laser light interacts with this coating, it retrieves the stored data effortlessly. Thanks to their ingenious design, CDs boast an impressive storage capacity for all types of digital content. This still life photograph not only highlights the technical aspects but also conveys a sense of wonder surrounding our ability to preserve vast amounts of valuable data in such a small format. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of efficient ways to store and access information.
