Institutions -- both career centers and businesses -- using social media are still the minority. The organizational shift that would have to take place to make a resume-less society a reality is enormous, and organizations just don't change that quickly. I'm sure screening will move toward standardization, but I can't imagine a time when the advice to bring a paper resume to your interview is outdated.
