I only mean that I think it's possible that one day "pages" won't be all that common, and I could imagine a scenario where people who have never picked up a book and turned a physical page still use the word "page" without necessarily understanding the etymology of the word: Like "horsepower."
I'd say it's safe to imagine a time in the not too distant future where the word "page" is primarily used to refer to what is visible on a screen at a given time and not what is written on physical paper. In fact, with the ubiquitous use of the term "web page," we may be there already.
