I'm not talking about suitability, though, but of expectations.
Door handles are great inventions.
And map books (especially historical ones) are fascinating; I have a bunch.
I'm just not sure that the kids that grow up with a plastic ebook reader in their back pocket are going to value the permanence of a print edition over the convenience of an online mapping app.

On the fiction front; I'm rather fond of Asimov's "THE FEELING OF POWER".

"Nine times seven, thought Shuman with deep satisfaction, is sixty-three, and I don't need a computer to tell me so. The computer is in my own head.

And it was amazing the feeling of power that gave him. "
