I saw some tweet that said something like "20 years ago, we all had printers. Now, nobody does, and we're all doing fine. What the hell were we printing?"
I can think of 4 things I used to print regularly: homework assignments, tickets to events, coupons, MapQuest directions.
All four of them are no longer necessary to print. Homework is now usually either done by hand on notebook paper or uploaded somewhere as a PDF. Tickets and Coupons are now done via QR or bar codes in an app or e-mail. Google Maps and Waze on your phone made printed MapQuest directions obsolete.
Printing will continue to be less and less common. These days, I go to my veteranarian and they offer to e-mail me the results and care instructions for my cat rather than printed 5 pages of crap.
