What's left of 'post-digital' - does the term still make any sense?

Short summary of presentation:

Since the year 2000, the term "post-digital" has been used for such different fields as electronic music, hybrid print and electronic publishing, advertising, and telecommunication services. In the past, I argued that the term "sucks, but is useful" to describe certain artistic practices and cultural phenomena. Today, I'm less convinced of its usefulness and will try to explain why.
