Greetings. Today, I want to share with you a fascinating discovery that sheds new light on the ancient civilization that we call the 21st century. This discovery is a small, shiny, circular object that we have named the DVD.
The DVD, or Digital Versatile Disc, was a device used by the ancient people to store and transmit information. It was made of plastic and metal, and had a thin layer of reflective material that encoded the information in tiny pits and lands. The DVD could hold up to 4.7 gigabytes of data, which is equivalent to about 1,000 books or 2 hours of video.
The DVD was read by a device called a DVD player, which used a laser beam to scan the surface of the disc and convert the pits and lands into electrical signals. The DVD player then decoded the signals and displayed the information on a screen or a speaker. The DVD player was often connected to a larger device called a computer, which could perform various functions such as browsing the internet, playing games, or editing documents.
The DVD was a versatile and popular medium for the ancient people, who used it for various purposes such as entertainment, education, or communication. They could watch movies, listen to music, learn new skills, or share their memories with others. The DVD was also a durable and portable medium, which could withstand scratches, dust, or heat, and could be easily carried around or mailed to distant locations.
However, the DVD also had some limitations and drawbacks. The DVD was vulnerable to physical damage, such as cracks, warps, or breaks, which could render it unreadable. The DVD also had a limited lifespan, as the reflective layer could degrade over time due to oxidation, corrosion, or exposure to light. The DVD also required a compatible DVD player and a specific format, which could vary depending on the region, the manufacturer, or the content. The DVD also had a limited capacity, which could not keep up with the increasing demand for higher quality and quantity of information.
Therefore, the DVD was eventually replaced by newer and better technologies, such as the Blu-ray disc, the flash drive, or the cloud storage. The DVD became obsolete and forgotten, and was discarded or recycled by the ancient people. However, some DVDs survived the passage of time and were preserved in landfills, museums, or private collections. These DVDs are now valuable artifacts that offer us a glimpse into the culture, history, and technology of the 21st century.
Thank you for your attention. I hope you enjoyed this speech and learned something new about the DVD, the ancient tablet of the digital age.

This is called a CD (Compact Disk)
You have to put it in your CD-/DvD-Drive…

Its a freesbe? Shit I thought it was a crappy grinding disk for my angle grinder so I can jam a GPU into a small case.

I built my first PC without an optical drive in 2015 and I felt like a badass
Most people don’t know, but that disk is an alternative for bios recovery, not just a driver disk.
