"The Death of Paper (Which Never Happened)"

Paper truly isn’t dead…for now. In my opinion in generations to come paper would be completely gone. Obviously our generation still uses paper, weather is to write on for notes or to read a novel. Even though we have all these new technologies that allows us to read and write digitally we still resource back to what we first learned. The article made me think a lot about the future of technology.  Schools now are using more and more new technologies to teach children, soon all they will use learn will be digital. The death of paper has not happened yet but it will eventually.

Alessandro Ludovico says, “The printed page has become more valuable, less expendable.” People now like things fast and they want it as soon as possible where ever they are. Ludovico mentions if someone wants something in paper it takes more time and also space. He also mentions how digital copies allow people to do a lot more with what they read like research, share, edit and more. It is now more difficult to have a printed copy than have a digital one, and we are all about convenience. Slowly paper will no longer be used and completely replaced by digital copies.
