Occasionally, software, such as operating systems, were distributed on DVDs, but now these are downloadable too. Why bother with a stack of music CDs when you can buy tracks online, or better still, subscribe to unlimited streaming music from services like Google Play Music, Microsoft Groove, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer and so on?ĭVDs were mainly used to distribute movies, but as with music, you can buy movies online and download them from Google, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon, and you can stream them from services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and others. Why is this? One reason is that CDs were used to distribute music and software, but both of these are easily downloaded from the internet these days. However, an increasing number of new computers have abandoned them and they have no ability to access CDs and DVDs. Optical drives – CD and DVD-Rom drives and CD/DVD-writers – are not going to disappear overnight because too many people still use them. They are becoming less common, particularly in laptops, and many don’t have them. The optical drive in desktop and laptop computers is disappearing.
