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.
