I suspect the physical snail-mail address is something which won't go out of fashion in our lifetimes, not until the bulk of society becomes so mobile that a permanent address becomes a meaningless concept.
Becoming that mobile either requires an enormous level of wealth to move all of one's stuff, or we as a society have to let go of the person-with-the-most-toys-wins mentality and embrace the less-is-more mindset. I don't see that happening in my lifetime.
