Do you think that electronic media will ever totally do away with printed media? (Will we ever do away with books, newspapers etc?)

With increased use of portable electronic devices, I think it's possible.

I sure as hell hope not. To me, there is nothing more enjoyable than reading a book or newspaper and actually feeling it in my hands and smelling the paper and ink. What could be better than receiving an extra nice book, one that is nicely bound with leather or printed on nice paper? Should I read my Bible on a computer screen? Will it still be God-breathed when I have to use a hologram to read the Holy Word?

It already is, to some extent. With portable devices coming down in price and going up in capabilities, it's inevitable. I suspect Ben Bova's novel "Cyberbooks" will be proven right in the end.
