Best Answer

Compact disc technology It was the compact disc, aka. "Compact Disc - Read Only Memory / CD-ROM"

The first general-interest CD-ROM product released after Philips and Sony announced the CD-ROM in 1984 was "Grolier´s Electronic Encyclopedia," which came out in 1985. The 9 million words in the encyclopedia only took up 12 percent of the available space. The same year, computer and electronics companies worked together to set a standard for the disks so any computer would be able to access the information.

In the 1980s what medium did the computer world borrow from the music word?

Assuming this is a quiz answer, the answer may be CD-ROMs. However, it was in fact computers which first utilized the larger Laserdisc technology for media storage before the music industry did for music videos. CD-ROMs became standard later not for video, but for audio due to smaller capacity than laserdiscs and much increased quality of audio. Most CDs are ~320 kbps. The answer may also be tape drives, since audio casettes were utilized for music before data, but this occured in the 60's and 70's.
