I don't think printing directions will be obsolete quite as soon as you think; wrangling a sheet of paper with directions is easier than wrangling a handset if you're driving at the same time, because the handset has to be held so close to one's eyes to get equivalent picture clarity. At least in my experience. Maybe once handsets have decent heads-up displays or something... The boarding pass case is a bit clearer to me, though I wouldn't expect printing them to be obsolete for at least another 3-5 years. -Boris
