The advent of the Internets Tubes has enabled people to access data much quicker. Whether that data is actual information is uncertain.

I have books in my personal library that are well over 100 years old. I have film images also from the 19th century.

When it is demonstrated that a digital copy of a book or photograph can easily survive 100 years, then, I might start to think that paper is an obsolete storage medium.

Until then, I will be happy with my dead trees.
