I would be very surprised if paper logbooks (or anything using paper) are still around in 5-10 years.
I have a lot of electronic files on tape, CD etc none of which are accessible.
Strange that we are able to read papyrus scroll from 4000 years ago, or go to the Public Records office and read the logbooks of combat pilots from WW2 yet I have a load of stuff that I though would replace paper output that is unusable.

As I've got older I trust paper (well stored) more than electronic files and my logbooks going back 40-odd years are well-loved friends. They will be my treasured possessions until the end.

I can't ever see electronic media ever replacing them and I hope to be flying for many more years
