Pisces, March 2. Born on this day rarely rush events, wishing to achieve their goal.
The defining feature of their behavior is exceptional tolerance towards family, friends, and any nation, with the help of which those born on this day are able to work miracles.
However, for other people, such tolerance can be inconvenient at times, and then those born on March 2 have quite significant problems - especially often related to their personal life.
As parents, they do not always find mutual understanding with growing children, who, for obvious reasons, not only adhere to a completely different system of values, but also often want to go their own way.

Main event
CD birthday
March 2, 1983
For that time, this novelty was a real sensation.
The principle of the phonograph's operation was based on the transmission of sound vibrations of the voice to the surface of a rotating cylinder covered with tin foil. The oscillations were made with the tip of a steel needle, one end of which was connected to a steel membrane, catching sounds. The cylinder had to be rotated manually at a frequency of one revolution per second.
The phonograph made an international splash. However, its design did not allow for high-quality reproduction, and despite all the efforts of Edison and his followers to improve the instrument, the phonograph turned out to be a dead-end branch in the development of the recording and reproduction industry.
Phonograph, gramophone, gramophone, tape recorder ... Plates, tapes ...
In just a century with little humanity passed the road from the phonograph to the CD.
The rapid development in the late 1970s of computer technology led to the emergence of the ability to store and read any information in digital form from the appropriate media.
One of them was the CD, demonstrated on March 2, 1983 in the UK by Philips, Sony and Polygram.
For that time the novelty was a real sensation.
The diameter of the displayed CD was 12 centimeters. On it, as a demonstration, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was recorded. The length of the recording, which was performed by a laser and read by a laser player, was 74 minutes - this was how much the symphony lasted in the most popular performance of that time.
Gradually, optical disks ceased to be solely carriers of audio recordings. There were CD-ROM, and then CD-R and CD-RW, where you could already store any digital information. On CD-R it was possible to record it once, but on CD-RW it could be recorded and rewritten many times using the appropriate drives.
Information on the CD is recorded in the form of a spiral track from the grooves extruded on the polycarbonate substrate. The data is read and written using a laser beam.
The algorithms of information compression helped to significantly reduce the size of digital audio files without special losses for human auditory perception. The most widespread format is MP3.
The development of flash technologies in the early 21st century led to the fact that Audio-CDs were under threat of oblivion, as happened with the plates and cassettes.
Holidays
Match Day
There are many types and sizes of matches, but kitchen matches are the most common ones to use.
In addition to the usual (household) matches, special ones are made. For example, hunting (or storm) - they burn in the wind and even in the rain; thermal (giving a higher temperature during combustion, and therefore more heat); alarm (with colored flame); cigarettes (for smoking cigars); mantels (very long matches to light fireplaces) and others. And there are even decorative (mainly for collectors), produced in limited edition with different patterns on the boxes (like postage stamps).
It should also be noted that matches throughout their rich history, in addition to their main purpose, are used in a very diverse manner. Here are just a few examples - instead of counting sticks for teaching children, as a conditional monetary unit at various card and other games, for making match houses and other structures, for drawing lots, for various logic games, as toothpicks and a basis for cotton swab, for tricks ...
