Well, I don't think printed photos will cease to exist. People will
probably still want to frame photos and put them up on their walls.
But the photograph will probably be taken with a digital camera.
BTW: hard disks failing or becoming obsolete doesn't necessarily mean
loss of the DATA they carry (including the pictures). There IS such a
thing as backup, you know!
Cheers.
