I still have paper copies of important documents from the 1980s. I have no idea where the digital copies from that era disappeared to.
Paper has its place; it's a fantastic archival medium.
I also still print out contracts to review them. They're easier to mark up that way, and I can focus entirely on the paper -- including quickly leafing through it, while comparing multiple pages -- in a way that I can't as easily do on the desktop.
Paper isn't dead yet; it still has the best UX available for many common use cases.

- StavrosK 13y agoI have no idea where any of my important paper documents are from the 1990s. All my digital documents, though, are in my "Archives" folder. This says more about which medium you and I pay most attention to, rather than how well paper archives.
