Prompt: “Be a world-famous director and direct a movie with actors and props, all while keeping the storyline about the reason we don’t really use DVD/CD ROM drives on laptops and desktops anymore.”
🎞️ Scene 1: A Hollywood Tech Tale
[Opening shot]
The camera pans across a glittering, hyper-futuristic movie studio. Neon lights flare, robotic cameras buzz, and an enormous clapperboard slams shut:
“Scene 1: Death of the Disc.”
🎬 Enter Chaz McByte, the coolest director in Digital Hollywood. With his slicked-back hair, pixel shades, and custom-made headset, he turns to the cast — a crew of anthropomorphic laptops and desktops — and shouts:
“Alright team, let’s give this old tech the send-off of the century! Action!”
[Dramatic orchestral score begins…]
🎭 The Plot:
Flashback: DVD’s Golden Days
In a dramatic montage, DVDs and CD-ROMs strut down a red carpet. People cheer. Laptops open wide with pride, showing off their shiny disc drives. It was the age of burning, reading, and installing from the mighty disc.
🎤 “Back in the day,” says a grizzled desktop in a flashback, “I used to install entire games and movies off these bad boys!”
But the music dims.
⚔️ Conflict: Enter Modern Tech
Suddenly, a new hero bursts in: SSD Flashbolt, a speedy storage drive wearing sleek chrome armour. Cloud icons swirl in behind him like a digital entourage.
“Old friend,” Flashbolt says solemnly, placing a USB-C hand on the DVD’s shoulder, “You were good… but times have changed.”
The DVD spins nervously.
“But… but people still love me!”
“Not enough,” interrupts Cloudia, a radiant holographic assistant. “You’re big, slow, easily scratched, and—let’s face it—most laptops have gone on a no-disc diet.”
🎬 The Director’s Monologue (a cinematic moment):
Chaz McByte walks onto the stage, holding a dramatic spotlight.
“We no longer need your bulk.
We’ve embraced the slim.
With streaming, flash drives, cloud syncing and lightning-fast SSDs…
…there’s simply no room for the disc in our bags or our BIOS!”
📦 Resolution: The Farewell
In a moving final scene, the old DVD drives are gently packed into crates marked “Outdated Props”. A sad violin plays.
A modern ultrabook walks past and whispers:
“You paved the way, disc. But now… we stream ahead.”
The sky glows with Wi-Fi signals. Drones zoom by carrying cloud storage crates. The cast bows. The curtain falls.

🍿 Moral of the Movie:
We don’t use DVD/CD-ROM drives much anymore because:
-
They’re bulky and slow
-
Easily damaged
-
Limited storage capacity
-
Most media is now streamed, downloaded, or stored in the cloud
-
USBs and SSDs are smaller, faster, and way more convenient
-
Modern laptops favour thin design – and disc drives don’t fit the vibe
