Is Paper DEAD?

As media has developed over the years and the Internet has become more advance and more accessible, it could be known that PRINT on paper is slowly disappearing. Online Newsletters, E-Books, Printable coupons and Ad's are all newer forms of print now available on the Internet; all these devices were originally print and continue to remain in paper form. But is paper already dead?
I believe that paper won't die anytime soon... The idea of holding a piece of information in paper form within your hands is much more gratifying then finding it on the web. The information me and my partner took from the survey was that the Internet wasn't that popular for a news source. When reading a book, the smell you get from the pages fresh off the print is irreplaceable. The web can offer nearly any kind of information, but certain things you just have to have on paper. The world is now becoming more and more Eco-friendly which may just slowly end the development of newspapers, ads and other paper forms such as these. Now technology is starting to become more portable, so that these things you had on paper can still be held in your hand but on a electronic device such as the new iPad. Paper is not yet dead but is on the verge of disappearing as technologies advances.
