You can use the same printing techniques for both digital and film.  Quality
paper, and quality ink will last longer--you just have to pay for it.  Take
a CD of your hi res images to a photo shop and they will print it nice for
you.

Of course that print off your inkjet isn't going to last.  You got that
printer free from dell.

Digital formats can be converted, unlike film.  What happens after you loose
the negative?  Upload your pictures to flikr, or a server that gets backed
up regularly and they will (probably) not get lost.  Paying for storage
definitely increases security of storage in my mind.

I'll give you another reason:

Film has been around for a long time. Slides don't fade for 30 years, color
prints, probably 50, (I have one of my father that is fine after 40 years)
and the first B&W print is still around.

Now how long will the latest digital medium be around. Possibly forever, if
the format can still be read. On the other hand, reading any specific format
may be impossible in 15 years.

>From what I hear, don't count on digital prints to last for very long.
