I doubt that paper charts will disappear in the forseeable future, but I can see a time when people navigate primarilly by electronic moving maps, and only carry a 1:1,000,000 scale chart in the aircraft as a backup in case all else fails.
This means that it will be even more important that people are taught basic DR nav during training, as they will get so little practice afterwards.
A growing problem I see now, is people mounting Ipads and such in places where, if their rubber sucker, or other temporary mountings came loose the screen would fall into the controls!
