    The paper we use nowadays is acutally a highly advanced, modern technology. It’s not the same kind of paper from, say, 500 years ago an expensive product only used by few professionals. Modern paper is a highly industrialized, mass produced, widely available, incredibly cheap and (increasingly) renewable product. It’s a technology as modern as tablets and computers, and arguably more integral to our daily lives.

    Will paper become obsolete in 50 or 100 years? Maybe, yes. but it may as well become even more integral to our daily lives. Who’s to say we won’t develop new technologies to make paper even cheaper and more ubiquitous that it already is?
