This is an interesting subject for speculation. It's pretty impossible to predict what will happen so many years in the future. When I was at school I remember being told that businesses would be completely paperless. I know that some businesses do operate without the use of paper, or with minimal use, but most do still cling to paper.
Thinking back over my own relatively short career in admin support, I started work when wordprocessors were the in-thing and the internet was considered to be some rare and precious thing. I also began work as a "traditional" PA/Secretary and now I have specialised in areas of work which would, in the past, have been undertaken by someone much more "senior" than me.
I think that there will always be a need for an admin support certainly at Chief Executive/Managing Director level. I also think that at other levels there will probably be a development in responsibilities for admins. I expect there to be greater teamwork and perhaps admins will take on more of the role of a "co-ordinator" or will work in various areas of specialism appropriate to their industry.
