The Blu-ray transformation

When was the last time you saw a VHS tape? Can't quite remember right. First came VCDs, and was later followed by the wave of new DVD technology that together have revolutionised the concept of storing and playing back audio and video. The quality of our home music-listening and movie-watching experience has, since, never been the same again.

CDs and DVDs, completely transformed media storage, the VHS box came to an end and in came slim and sleek discs; that made storage easy and dramatically improved portability. Over time, they also became relatively cheap, indestructible and re-usable. The technology was such a great hit that it gave way to a new industry by itself - home theatre.
