So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

I haven’t bought a CD in well over a decade but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to think of CDs as retro lol

I mean the first CDs were released 1982 in Japan, 1983 in N.A. and Europe.

Considering there are children out there that don't know what a CD is because of streaming, I'd assume that DVDs and CDs are old enough to be retro.

And I only know there are some that don't know what a CD/DVD is because of r€ddit posts.
