The Coming Death of Paper as an Information Storage Medium
Whatever can be digitized will be digitized. Hardware can not compete with software in elegance, simplicity, and cost. From the iPhone to online banking, digital things are superior to physical. Soon the clerk in the bank is not going to be retyping the wire transfer from a piece of paper. Soon we will be electing the president of the United States via electronic voting.
The author thinks books will survive, though — while newspapers/magazines are “dirty,” books are “magical.” Time will tell, I suppose, but probably by the time everyone is carrying an iPhone around all that newsprint will seem rather old fashioned.
