I don't think technology will really ever erase the need for drawing, unless drawing on a tablet or other device would be considered replacing drawing. There's something about using your hand to bring your ideas out that can't be replaced by some kind of more machinelike, while more precise, drafting. Even if the bulk of your work isn't done by hand, I think it will likely be used for some kind of brainstorming, like in the article. I also think it's important to start by hand, to give a basis, and even if the world evolves past it, it's a good skill to have. Furthermore, it's hard to do things that are more imprecise when using a CAD program, such as sketching. Things like that are occasionally called for, so again I don't think that the need for drawing will ever be erased.
