Do you think we'll be completely paperless by 2050?

[The_Big_K]

The concept of Paperless Office is well known. Do you think the world will be completely paperless by 2050?

At least, do you think we'll still be using papers in offices?

If that happens, you'll have to take your kids to museums to show them the printers!


Interesting, huh?

[Lame repliers: I know, we'll need the toilet paper anyway. ]

Yes, we'll still be using papers. For sure, electronic medium will be increasingly used as the amount of "data" is exponentially rising, but some sort of physical "paper" will be used in some form for small scale stuff.. like notes, etc. Hopefully out made of recycled paper or other environmentally friendly material

I suppose when 2050 comes, people would probably accuse me for being a old fashioned geezer who hates technology

Paper are always perfered over electronic meduim,in future tii poeple may,may not prefer paper.all depends upon accpetance,but looking at present at 2050 we will be still using paper

[gohm]

yes it will remain however the material may be different, maybe metallic based?

[sauravgoswami]

It can be anything as long as human is analog he will prefer paper and pen

can't say paperless only the very important part will be have the paper work.
but similarly the world will be digitised. the engineers will definately find a another way so that we can save paper. as a lot of trees are used to make papers and also from now onwards the factor of global warming is also there. so definately one can say that we will use paper but to a very less context.

kind off,mate but similar things we imagined dusing the seventeis nothing happend,during the 50's flaoting cars were derived....well i m damn sure in next 42 years,human will be using paper..

[Neha]

Down the line 42 years, indeed a long time!

According to my views, I don't think it would be completely paperless. We would be using papers though at a much smaller extent.

Next, I think people out there would device methods for developing a paper that z made of some environment friendly stuff!

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.
