When will the Compact Disk be completely obsolete and no longer sold?

However, it is common that new technology becomes obsolete faster then previous technologies (this is why computer technology grows so quickly)... So it is possible that digital formats will kill off the format before that 43 year lifespan is over.
If you take a look at the use of CDs in the form of storage for computers you see an even shorter lifespan with the previous technology of floppy drives (8in - 1969, 5.25in - 1976 and 3.5in - 1984) already having disappeared from use years ago.

And that is the technology that lost.

only rarely do u see a computer with a floppy drive these days....so i'm thinking it will be that way with CD too.
they might still sell them tho. there are still places u can buy floppy discs.
For music.............
if u are strictly talking about the music CD (cd audio) then i would think it would maybe even be sooner. i haven't bought a music CD since i was 12yo. That was 8 years ago. CDs are too bulky to use for playing music and they don't store enough music.
then also i think how the music people sued college kids and stuff has made people not want to buy from em too. maybe sorta hastening their demise so to speak.
