High, In the first place, braille is not in conflict with any new technology. Secondly, letter writing is not really dead even with the use of e-mail and mobile phones. You still need to express yourself coherently which I believe letter writing was all about.
I don't use braille at all but, there have been times when I wish I had access to it. for instance, I had to prove freed a document. At that point of time, my office was extremely noisy. I cannot use headphones for extended periods of time and cranking up the volume to a comfortable level is doable but I had to keep altering the volume based on the noise level in the office. The other place where braille is extremely useful is for writing down items such as credit card numbers. I would rather read such items silently. Finally, rail is the only way to label tactile diagrams. Yes, you do have devices such as the Iveo but they are not in common use.
