I'm sure there were those who felt that writing itself was doomed when the printing press came about. In the middle ages when few could read churches would have pictures painted on the walls to illustrate parts of the Bible. It didn't make more people illiterate. It just helped those who couldn't read to get a sense of their world. People write fewer letters on paper now (to the post office's regret) but people do still write letters. They are sent via email instead. Technology changes over time but the need for communication means that writing isn't dying any time soon.
