"There will still be paper dictionaries. When cars became the dominant mode of transportation, we didn't round up all the horses and shoot them."
My one comment: Spanish long ago beat English to the whole let's-just-make-everything-a-word game. While such a (happy! non-judgmental! progressive!) fluid relation with words can at times be useful (permanecerse), inventive (mariposear), or sometimes cute (cuchear), it can also be an amorphous mess, and you end up with words like "fotorrejuvenecimiento" and "futbolisticamente." And that's just a little too close to German, folks.
