I think a more significant reality is the changing world...
Digital is growing, with high-def displays replacing paper and ink for a lot of what people view. For the most part, video is growing more popular daily while still imagery wanes. And current digital video can only be seen on a digital display of some form. But then so can stills, and I suspect this is where the digital art world is heading...
Will paper and ink printing survive? Sure, but more for cards and wrapping paper than an artistic medium. For the longer term, I believe photographic prints will become a niche artistic medium much like silver, wet-plate or platinum photography is now, and any actual art paper will probably be used more for paint or pen than digitally printed artwork.
