I have to admit that the tablets like the Kindle, Samsung Note the iPad, and other devices are reshaping the paper and publishing industry. I still think paper will still be around for a few more decades as kids still need to learn how to write and paper is so much cheaper than electronic devices. Is it a good thing? I honestly can't say but I guess it will save on tress and waste.
A good question, I agree with it. Papers will soon be gone but as the other answer suggests, papers are still cheaper options for kids, but in theory papers are almost gone. I rarely write these days and use notepad (windows) rather than notes and papers, and I am getting a bit sluggish when I have to write down on paper. (not to mention my terrible hand writing).
