DVD and CD where are they?

When I was watching an episode of a famous TV soap on OTT, the protagonist a character from 1999/2000 who was buying a apothecary table reminded me of CDs. Apparently the mini drawers of this apothecary table could hold 300 CDs. Not long ago people of my age and older we all used them. We were at awe of their sizes and wondered how could that thin slice hold up so much storage. In less than two decades these so called compact discs vanished and were replaced by even tinier things called pen drives. The era of pen drives are also on the brim of extinction as most of the work is done by the magical blue tooth. This graph shows the technological advancement in the last few centuries.
