The Compact Disc. Just, like, radical man. Lasers making the music? What will the technology wizards think of next?

In this video we take a first look at the compact disc and its underlying encoding. Soon we’ll be looking more into CD players and their laser pickup systems, so be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already!
