The only thing you should do is just accept the fact that the two have to co-exist -as it was the case of the 80s or 90s- and try to ride on this point of view. Besides Baldur's Gate did help 3e I think.
I wonder though, that if WotC can incorporate the computer "as" the table top, does it change the landscape of the RPG? You can see them attempting that now. Success along this avenue would change the way business was done as more and more companies produce products to support and cash in on that success.

I am not saying that the computer as a table top immediately surplants the magic of what we have today. But if successful, you can see that at some point it could become the norm, and change how pencil and paper RPG's are played.
