The model-T didn't replace the buggy either. The horse and buggy are still around. But people realize that it's more convenient and economical to drive.

Of course the B&M will always be around, but as more and more people come online, they will realize the convenience of online shopping. That's money that was once going to B&M. There will be a lot fewer B&M in the future I'm sure.
