Paper That Acts Digital

Business2 has A Story on paper stubbornly resisting the trend to go digital.


\”In part, that\’s because it already works so well. Think about it this way: Paper is a versatile technology that\’s been perfected over the past 2,000 years. It\’s flexible, durable, cheap, and ubiquitous. Words and images can be stored on it using pens, brushes, crayons, typewriters, or ink-jet printers. It\’s easy to share. Drop it, fold it, leave it out in the sun or even in the rain, and it still works. Paper is comfortable with its nondigital status — which may explain why technophiles are always gunning to replace it.\”
