storage medium from
which data is read
and to which it is
written by lasers.

WORM
WMRM

10. Read Only Memory (ROM) disc
– used for distribution of
standard
program and data files. It comes with
data already encoded onto them but
cannot be modified.
Type 1

11. Write-once read-many (WORM) disc
– the information stored on the
disk cannot be changed or erased.
Type 2

12. Re-writable, write-many read-many
(WMRM) disc – allow information to be
recorded and erased many times.
Type 3

13. Analog
Audio
– it is a representation of a
sound that is analogous to
the air pressure waves of
the sound.
 Analog Devices – read
the media by scanning the
physical data off the
media examples are audio
tape players, VCRs and
record players.

14. Guidelines on how to use
microphone:
