   In the 21st century, I would say that optical media still has its   
   advantages:   
      
   For small amounts of data optical media is usually cheaper than USB   
   sticks, but yes, there are USB storage which is bigger than any optical   
   media out there.   
      
   The "write once" feature of optical media on one hand means that it can't   
   be reused, but on the other hand it makes it great for backup purposes   
   and saving of reference data like an installation media.   
      
   USB sticks has more become a replacement of floppies than a replacement   
   of optical media.
