Floppy Disk Drive

Im thinking of buying a new computer.

Do I really need a Floppy Disk Drive? What are they used for now in modern computing? In the past they were used to back-up files from Hard Disk such as Word Documents or System Restore Packs but are they used anymore? Now that CD-RW is now the main way of backing up?

I just want to make sure that floppy disks are in the past.....or whether they are still needed. I will only be using the computer for personal use and the occasional word processing.
