Question 10

A company is developing a piece of multimedia language software for use in a school. Give two reasons why the company decides to issue the software on CD-ROM and not on floppy discs.

Answer

The company chooses CD-ROMs over floppy discs for the following reasons:

  1. Larger storage capacity — Multimedia language software typically contains a large amount of data, including audio, video, and interactive elements. CD-ROMs offer a significantly larger storage capacity compared to floppy discs.
  2. Better data transfer rate — CD-ROMs have a faster data transfer rate compared to floppy discs. This means that the software can load and access data more quickly from a CD-ROM, resulting in a smoother and more responsive user experience.
