【Interesting Facts about HaiChuan Technology】Bill Gates tells you how much storage space a CD has!

Thread Content

In 1994, Bill Gates, like a mischievous child, sat among 330,000 sheets of paper. Behind such a \"absurd\" action was his desire to show the world through concrete actions that \"the disk in my hands can store far more information than 330,000 sheets of paper.\" And indeed, he went on to change the world.

How many years is the shelf life of a CD, and does it last longer when stored on paper?

Good question; most people don’t notice this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------The lifespan of a disc is determined by both the disc itself and external conditions. The only thing we can do is to use scientific preservation methods to extend the lifespan of optical discs. Temperature, light, air humidity, and external pressure on the disk are physical factors that affect its lifespan ; The corrosion caused by various chemicals is a chemical factor that affects their lifespan ; Furthermore, pests can also directly damage optical discs. If we can preserve it carefully and scientifically, a 20-year lifespan can be maintained. Specifically, optical discs should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, protected from compression, chemical corrosion, and pests, with their surfaces kept clean to avoid scratches. In comparison: pirated discs are of lower quality than genuine discs ; The quality of burned CDs is worse than that of unburned CDs ; Disks with larger data capacities are more fragile than those with smaller capacities

So, will some precious materials still be able to be preserved effectively after a hundred or a thousand years?

The contents on the optical disc can be backed up; just copy and paste them

You’re not mistaken – they’re wearing seat belts!

It’s really noticeable – how is it suspended so high?
