A compact disk is a round, flat disk that sound can be recorded on and that people can listen to. Other types of information can be stored on a compact disk also. We often use the abbreviation "CD" when we talk about compact disks. The information on a CD is in the same form as the information stored in a computer. It is digital information. You play a CD on a special device that has a laser in it that can "read" the information on the CD.
