Given the enduring popularity of vinyl records I find it hard to believe that analogue enthusiasts will convert to digital for his convenience. I can see hand-illustrated manuscripts continuing to be produced and at the low end of the market, I suspect 'zines and art/poetry books will continue to come out in hard copy. Not to mention painters... but sure, in 10 years all that might have changed. And Mr Ballmer might have gifted the world a bug-free service pack for Windows XP too.
now you're just dreaming. or else you're high (what is that you're smoking ?).

but seriously, if we are only talking about things like newspaper and magazines i can see it being possible. i almost never read the news on paper anymore.

vinyl lps and paintings are a different story, however.
