Will optical drive be history?

Recently, Apple Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller said that optical drive would be removed from all computers in the near future. In 2010, Apple CEO Steve Jobs also expressed the same opinion. As of now, Disks such as Blue-Ray disk can still provide us high quality videos, convenient software distribution and permanent data storage. On the other hand, with development of Web, all these can be put on the Internet. Will optical drive be history? Do you think we still need optical drive?
