Will we ever live in a truly paperless society? - BitBuster - 06-Apr-2012

Ever since the advent of computers, people have been predicting the demise of paper products. Do you think we'll see this in our lifetimes? Is the day imminent when only people living in the past are interested in physical books, or is this just one of those inane predictions that people love to make any time there's a new technological innovation?

Going by my recent experience with toilets in European countries, I think not.

Here in India, we do things differently, so it's conceivable...

... Sorry, I guess that was not the domain of discussion that this thread was headed for, but it was the first thing that crossed my mind.

Hard to blow your nose on a laptop.

And I just can't get into the Kindle thing.

I will say my office is way more paperless than it was just five years ago.

I still prefer to read things on paper; screw e-books and Kindles.

In India, you just use your hands, right? I sort of remember reading that somewhere once...

Water. And optionally the left hand.

Screw toilets then. Smiley

That raises another question; will technology ever replace toilets?

Indoor toilets ARE technology!

And technology that I greatly appreciate.

I think we all appreciate them, to various degrees.
