"The computer will never be as important to society as the copier," -Xerox executive, quoted from The Innovators.

Things that computers are gradually making irrelevant, no? Can a copy machine eventually supplant computers? Of course not. Copy machines don't have a fraction of the functionality of a computer obviously.
My point is that computers are most certainly not making paper irrelevant. If anything, there's more paper now than ever.
