CD-ROM, in computer science, acronym for compact disc read-only memory, a form of storage characterized by high capacity (roughly 600 megabytes) and the use of laser optics rather than magnetic means for reading data. Although CD-ROM devices are strictly read-only, they are similar to optical WORM (write once, read many) devices and to optical read-write drives. See also CD-I; Sound Recording and Reproduction; Audio-Visual Education; Hypermedia.
