Think of the movie Farenheit 451 (at least I think that was the name), where books were forbidden and at the end of the movie, People became the books, memorizing the written word.

We are heading for that kind of world. Not pretty

There probably will be no hard copies of anything, as you say, in 100 years or less. I won't be around. And people became books way back when there were none. People were the storytellers. In fact, some still are as I know I heard many a story from my aunts, grandmas, etc. At least that's how I see it.
