CCROM Ink Pens

The great problem with CDROMs and DVDs is that you can't easily stick them in a pocket. Another disadvantage of the medium is that when reading and writing to a disk/disc format it needs to constantly increase or decrease speed depending on where the pickup device is along the track. And as Mythbusters showed there is a limit to how fast you can spin them before they fly apart.

Solution: Compact Cylinder or CCROM. They double as data toters and pens or mechanical pencils. You only need a really small opening on the front of your computer or radio/CCROM player. They are easily shared and carried. The device can be much stronger than a CDROM and using blue lasers you can fit as much data on the area of a pen 3 inches long as you can a regular sized CDROM. The end of the pen would have a nice ergonomic pyramid shape for writing and when placed in the reader this shape will snug into the end of the motor. It can be spun at only one speed since it is a cylinder shape instead of a disk shape making the technology much simpler and cheaper. You can burn your favorite song to a pen and give it to a friend as a gift. It might be sad to accidentally leave your favorite Carly Simon CCpen at the grocery store, but it will have a longer and happier life before ending up in the recycle bin.
