Well we will still need a way of getting our information around. Sure the net is a good way. But what if you are going to another company. Ok that sounds strange - let me explain.
You got a FT job, you want to get a powerpoint presentation from one place to another. Sure you can go there and get them to download it. But what are the chances of them allowing external people to use their system to access the net? Most likely zero. Therefore a CD would be a good way. Although now that I think of it, so does a USB key.... but many companies only allow certain USB drives in their machines and they need to be from a specific vendor and undergone a security check.
A CD - although can do harm, its still seen as a viable option. That is why you would like to have dics. Plus what if you wanted to give your friend a copy of your latest movie creation? Sure you could get him/her to d/l it, but what if they have reached their limit?
Discs are just an option. Which many people will still use in the future because no one likes change. And I should know - Im one of those people that try to get people to change their systems for the better and they are not always accepting of the changes.
