Class.forName() loads a JDBC driver into the memory! Why do we need this?

Question: Why do we need to use
Class.forName() to load a JDBC driver into the memory?
I do not understand idea behind of this...
Answer: Class.forName("MyClass") is used
for loading the classes dynamically. JVM executes all its static blocks after
class loading.
Everything you need to be initialized put into static block.
All JDBC Drivers have a static block that registers itself with DriverManager
and DriverManager has static methods only.
By the way, the Class class is only a class in Java that has no public constructor!
