The two would be my guess too.
What I have understood from the news, at some lower level schools they have already began using laptops instead extensive use of paper books and such. When those children come to the age of having own children, they probably teach them to the electronic ways without even bothering with papers. Problem is, such educational systems aren't so common yet and most of the other people doesn't have a clue about full benefits of mobile electronics. Devices itself haven't been on such technical level that they would have been able to make a big break through on their own. Mini-laptops have began to change that little bit, but there is still much to do with the technical development and especially marketing before we could expect to everyone abandon the old ways.
On the other hand. Just 20 years ago, very few (maybe even none) of us was able to predict how common the cell phones would be today.
