This CD will self-destruct in....50 to 100 years (1 Viewer)

[Danny Tse]

Sanyo Electric has developed a new kind of optical disc, the "MildDisc", based on a polymer derived from corn. While it's biodegradable when disposed, the "MildDisc" will

degrade after a period of about 50 to 100 years and break down into water and carbon dioxide

acording the article here at Yahoo.

"Perfect Sound" forever??

I suspect most of us will have broken down and degraded within 50 to 100 years too :frowning:
