| Abstract: | The paper considers rethinking the role of paper in the digital age. The authors state that new technologies are commonly misperceived as total replacement for old ones, when in fact the introduction of a new technology can stimulate a synergy between old and new. Electronic and printed media complement, and in some ways even reinforce each other. Today, paper remains the most popular document medium because of its credibility, tangibility, ease of use, portability, and compatibility with all imaging devices, such as facsimile units, copiers, printers and scanners. The authors predict a long-term coexistence of paper and electronic documents. |
