Yeah that's because there's nothing to replace it.  All those 
flash drives and media cards are sensitive to electromagnetic 
fields.  Get too close to one, and your data is fried.  That's 
why I use optical media, and media cards, and HD's.  There's 
solid state HD's out now, but I think they are just like memory 
cards, too sensitive to EM fields.

Nonetheless, CD/DVD media has withstood the test of time, and 
it is still
very popular. By now, it should have been replaced by something 
better - and
less flaky.
