Paper is high-tech. We tend to look down on certain technologies just because they're older, but paper and paperless both have pros and cons. There's a chasm of complexity between paper and its alternatives. In addition, we already have tons of experience using paper, along with the knowledge of how it should be handled and preserved. I suspect that much data will be lost due to bit rot, proprietary formats, legacy adapters, DRM, etc. AFAIK, we're still figuring out how long data can be safely stored in many of these newer mediums. IMO, it's highly desirable to have both options available. I don't really want everything I do passing through computers over which I have no control.
