When does a CD die?

What is the normal life-length of a normal pressed CD (not
a burned)?

In 50 years when im old and sitting with my grandchildren
blasting come to daddy on vinyl saying "now THIS is real
music, not that garbage you are listening to", will i be
able to play them the CD?

it depends on the half-life of the material from which the
CD is made

dvds last well over 100 years.. I'm sure most cd's made in
the past 6-7 years will do the same
