    Who invented the compact disc (CD)?

    Question #72920. Asked by lilacmay4. (Dec 04 06 4:11 PM)

    		In 1979 Philips and Sony decided to join forces, setting up a joint task force of engineers whose mission was to design the new digital audio disc. Prominent members of the task force were Kees Immink and Toshitada Doi. After a year of experimentation and discussion, the taskforce produced the "Red Book," the Compact Disc standard.
