Considering we still have vinyl players and that techs over 50 years old, it’s not too far of a stretch to believe cd tech will still be around in another 50 years.
Vinyl mainly still exists because it is the one lasting technology that is analog music recording technology. CD on the other hand is the first technology of the digital age there when it comes to music. It has no real benefits or distinguishing features over other digital storage (of music or data) to keep it alive.
1973 was 50 years ago, vinyl fully replaced shellac around the 60s, but the flat circle records that we know of have been around since like the late 20s or so. So way over 50 years.
CD technology isn’t even 50 years old at this point. Making such confident predictions about its availability in 50+ years is ridiculous.

Over 50? Technically true I guess but I’m still offended
