I think in this day and age digital copies of anything are quicker and 
easier to find and acquire then anything on paper (and you can print them 
out once you have it). Digital copies have the same issues as online content 
while printed copies have the same issues as archives do. You need to be 
able to transfer content digitally and still have some media for long term 
archives after the content is no longer interesting to the masses (so it 
will not be found on the internet anymore).
