No, I do not see the “end” of paper. We are morphing, changing, choose any word you want–however, paper will not be in museums, although some beautiful scrolls, manuscripts, and paper media are already in such places.

Think about it. We have gone from hot lead to microcomputers from the 1970s to the 2000s, and I daresay the Heidelberg Press I first saw at the local daily newspaper, which, is now in a museum, still gives me chills. Paper is beautiful. The pen is mighter than the sword; and we will have all kinds of online, immediate-tech gadgets to augment PAPER. Just pick up a 1900 cookbook or a lovely old edition of Idylls of the King–NOW CAN YOU IMAGINE LIFE W/O paper.

Embrace the changes/keep the beauty of the past. Today I am editing/proofing a major educational Technology Journal via HARD COPY and tomorrow I will edit online. I am proof that PAPER will and still does exist.

I don’t think ebooks will save the planet. The main cause of deforestation is to clear land for agriculture, which will only increase as the earth’s population grows and demands more food.

If I had e-books when I taught at risk high school aged children how to read, I would have had them all engaged. This upcoming generation is not illiterate as people assume; they are actually e-literate. They enjoyed everything on the classroom computers more than on the printed page. Plus, the good news is we will be going green; fewer trees will fall to produce paper keeping the foliage green. This process is not totally green due to e- waste but that can and should be addressed as e-evolves.

I think that we do not have a choice in this matter. Technology - like it or not - will upstage the current structure of the industry , by making available content on e-book platform , which will be read more in bits & pieces rather than end to end as it is done today. I think that there will be long lasting impacts on the way content is created, disseminated & absorbed.
