Once upon a time it was suggested that books would soon become obsolete, that we would soon have no need for libraries and all written words would find their readers via a virtual web of wireless and display screens.

paper too will be lost. do you know just how many works no one will ever read again because some monks in Orleans failed to diligently copy it?
Paper has a foreseeable future: you can scribble on it, play about, and make it yourself. It can also last for a long time, if treated/made properly, and it doesn't become obsolete, although the words on it might. You can totally submerse a book, and dry it out on a radiator.

I would rather leave behind one single book in paper form than leave a hard drive with the entire sum of human knowledge. A long time from now, people would be more likely to get something out of the book than the hard drive.
