For how long do we still need to print a paper?

For as long as I use time sitting on public transport and airplanes to review them. Nothing beats the ergonomics of a printout, a red pen and no internet.

Or a decent paperback novel.

Reading long form content on a screen gives me awful eyestrain.

Plus I love the smell of a good book.

I think the same way but I'm also pretty sure that the generation to come does not appreciate it anymore.

I hope that e-inc displays will mature. Paired with the UX of a modern I Pad this will replace printed stuff.

Paper is the best form of long term storage of data we have besides stone tablets.
