It may fade away, but never disappear. Computers will always be just another "layer" added across the top of society. As I get older, that's how I begin to see the world. For people born before television was popular, there was a point where it came into society, and so it became just something "added" on top of the "Real" world underneath it all. But for me, there's always been television, so TV is part of the "real world" as it has (for me) always existed. Cue spooky music and order a Grand Slam at Denny's. Then pass the pipe. Analog will never die!

I sill hand-write everything before typing it up on computer... even then I'll refer to my written notes rather than a printout. It's especially true of any creative endeavour.
