Being Wrong When Saying "Blue Ray Technology"
There is something wrong with saying "Blue Ray Technology". It is not that the technology doesn't exist, but rather the term "Blue Ray Technology" is often the mistaken form title for Blu Ray Technology, as Blu Ray Technology is spelled without the extra e, unlike saying "Blue Ray Technology". It is actually a minor detail many make the mistake of making, understandably.
Blu Ray Technology is basically the next thing after DVD. It stands to be more impressive than DVD, in the sense that Blu Ray discs boasts to have more storage space compared to that of DVD discs, even the dual-layer class of DVDs.
CDs, which are basically the predecessors of DVDs, have storage values of up to 700 megabytes. DVDs "out-store" CDs, as single-layer class DVDs could store up to 4.7 gigabytes of data, while dual-layer class DVDs could store up to 8.5 gigabytes of data. Blu Ray discs come in to "out-store" DVDs, in the sense that a single layer Blu Ray disc could store up to 25 gigabytes of data, while a dual-layer Blu Ray disc could store up to 50 gigabytes of data. The impressive storage capacity of Blu Ray discs makes it ideal for High Definition movies, as well as large amounts of data for personal computer systems, as well as for game data for personal gaming consoles. It comes in read only formats, writable only formats, and rewritable formats, no different form DVD and CD formats that came before it.
Blu Ray technology utilizes a blue colored laser, thus its name, and thus the common mistake of referring to it as "Blue Ray Technology", misspelling it with an extra e. DVDs and CDs utilize a red colored laser, different from Blu Ray, as the blue hued light has a shorter wavelength, allowing Blu Ray Technology to read optical data with greater precision.
As earlier mentioned, Blu Ray is basically the next thing after DVD, with more storage space capacity features, as well as read/write speed.
Blu Ray is basically the product of a joint project between the members of the Blu-Ray Disc Association, an association comprising of leading personal computer manufacturers, media makers and consumer electronics manufacturers. Among the brands part of the Blu-Ray Disc Association are: Hitachi, Thomson, Panasonic, Sharp, Apple, Dell, TDK, Sony, Pioneer, Samsung, Philips, LG, JVC, and Hewlett Packard.
Again, there is something wrong with saying "Blue Ray Technology", as it is spelled Blu Ray, and not Blue Ray Technology.
