The Paperless Society

My first day at University there was a lecture where the lecturer (Janet Davison) spoke about how with computerization we'd soon have a paperless office. I've not seen this particular phenomenon, if anything computers have created more paper, as people print out everything over and over again, really all they've led to is a carbon-less office. That was until tonight, when I was at the local (national chain) book shop and saw paperless books. Yes, there have been books on tape and books on cd, but this is the first time I've seen books on dedicated MP3, complete with headphones. They're a bit pricey, but over time they should get cheaper, then books look out...
