What will stop it is the lack of virtually free energy. When a set
of AAs cost the equivalent of £200 at today's prices, what are you
going to use them on? When your mains electricity is only on for a
few hours each day, what are you going to have working?
These are common situations for a goodly proportion of the planet
at present. As a number of extrapolations of the present world
situation indicate, there seems to be something like a 50%
possibility of them arriving in your (our) neighbourhood in the
nearish future, too. If that happens, printed material will be the
preferred choice.
