my "cool story, Hansel" that goes with this: I worked in electronic bingo. One of the things we faced was that paper bingo card manufacturers routinely wanted to limit the effectiveness of electronic bingo markers so-as not to drive themselves out of business. One method they did was limit the number of cards that could be sold to any one person, electronically or otherwise.

Also, in some jurisdictions we had to have a paper copy of each card sold to match what was in the bingo machine.

Thus, the paper market would never, ever die. So-much-so that the electronic company we were, invested in a printing press.
