A compact disk or CD is a popular form of digital storage media used for âcomputer files, pictures and music. The plastic platter is read and written to using a laser in a CD drive. It comes in several varieties including CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW. James Russell invented the compact disk in 1965. Russell was granted a total of 22 patents for various elements of his compact disk system. However, the compact disk did not become popular until it was mass manufactured by Philips in 1980.
1 In April 1982 Philips showed off a production CD player for the first time. From now on, the conventional record player is obsolete, said Lou Ottens.  The first commercial CDs pressed were The Visitors by Abba and a recording of Herbert von Karajan conducting the Alpine Symphony by Richard Strauss.
