New York Times comments in ROOM FOR DEBATE, comment number 368...
We can only hope that "hard copy" formats of writing never disappear, because that is truly how the art of writing is displayed. It kind of reminds me of photography. Sure, people like have their pictures digitally, but the best form still seems to be a hard copy.
(Also, digital cameras are great, but the aesthetic quality of a non-digital camera is still something that can't be replicated.)
I think that moving with new technology allows us to explore mediums in new ways and can enhance our productivity or understanding, but there is always a taste for the classic approach that can't simply be washed away by fancy enhancements.
