Will Air traffic control be obsolete by 2015?

I think some form of management will be in place, but it is a fact that the current airway/management system dates back to the 50's. The airways themselves are relics of the airmail routes of the 20's. The current system just cannot handle the amount of traffic currently-and no way will it be able to handle the projected increases in private/bizjet travel over the next decade. Finally, it really doesn't allow for the use of UAVs, which will also increase in the coming decades. Off my soapbox :)
