well don't worry friend, anyone will find a way for that, can say that a pen model of that which has a laser in it to write that paper cd, but most important it should be safe to use.

my friend as i told you that it is a special type of paper on which data is to writen. we can't write on it with a ink. it will just make that paper simple like the other one.

hey that makes it authentic,we can simulate ink and paper

I think if we survive till 2050, papers will be the last of our concerns
--Energy shortage, global warming, population explosion, terrorism, Fuel shortage, etc. etc.

But assuming that all does not happen, id say we will be paperless(basically forestless)

Going paperless by 2050 is surely a possibility. But I don't think it would be completely paperless, unless we discover a ultra superb alternative. Looking at the history, its been so many years that we started scribbling, first on leaves and then on processed wood (paper), but paper still we use

@Gaurav- Hey don't be too pessimistic yar.

i'm not sure... but the usage of paper will be very much reduced.. There are huge initiatives in big firms to reduce the usage of papers (sometimes even the toilet papers). This is directly linked to the profit margin, in our company we generate hard copy docs for more than 5 million customers monthly. this really costs millions to the company and cutting down the usage of papers will decrese the cost spent and increase the margin of profit

[sauravgoswami]

buddy,paper is not a profit making thing!!! paper is to keep records safely,still poeple beleive more in hard-copies compared to soft,for generations paper have been used and will be used though they might reduce

[Itanium]

i never said paper is making profit.. reducing the usage of paper reduces the cost. Also I dont think paper will keep records safe, you cant encrypt it. May be we are used to paper, thats the reason you are saying this, but its always better to reduce the usage of paper which also helps the environment.
