👉 Reproduction computing, also known as reproduction memory or erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), is a type of non-volatile storage technology that allows data to be written to it and then erased or rewritten multiple times without degradation of the stored information. Unlike traditional storage media like hard drives, which require power to retain data, reproduction computing relies on exposure to ultraviolet light to erase the stored charge, enabling data to be reprogrammed. This makes it particularly useful for applications where data needs to be updated frequently or when the storage medium should remain intact until needed, such as in digital cameras, CD-RW discs, and some types of embedded systems. The process involves using a laser or ultraviolet light to create patterns of exposed and unexposed areas on the storage medium, which correspond to binary data (1s and 0s), allowing for complex data storage and manipulation.
