Description

With the advent of digital technologies, more and more information is easily accessible to everyone through electronic media. It is also often pointed out that digital technologies could drive away papers used widely as typical analog media. Both paper and electronic media bear two important functions: “memory” and “display”. Obviously, papers are more friendly as an interface to human; whereas electronic media are, by far, advantageous in the memory capacity. This clearly indicates that both media are complementary and mutually dependent. Therefore, it is highly probable that paper media are still going strong in the future, hand in hand with electronic media, although the ratio between paper and electronic media can change, depending on the occasional demand of users.
