the more important question is- Do we want pens/paper to become obsolete? and Who might benefit from this? Meaning- if all writing and reading material becomes digitized, wouldn't there be the possibility of losing all the data one day? (whether by accident or by someone in charge) Did we forget about the 1984 on Kindle incident? What about Farenheit 451? We need to make it a point to keep them around (the pen and paper) is what I think.
I liked the what Dean Terry- wrote on his blog:
"over the last couple of months is that I thought very carefully about deleting a tweet, which in turn made pressing send when composing one less casual than before. Everything felt more permanent. I’ve always wanted to create something that made people feel more tension when hitting “send” on a social network." We are a bit too trigger happy when it comes to socializing on the net. The air we breathe doesn't remember our spoken words but the internet does. Be careful.
