Comment by 7bit

One has to be pretty ignorant and dismissive to claim that this is not "a big win for paper".

First of all, that comment is weirdly out of place. The quality and longevity of paper is not the topic.

Secondly, there are fragments of paper with writing as old as 2,000 years.

Thirdly, paper you look at and see the writing. With digital documents, you need the technology to read the medium and then you need to know how the information was encoded onto the medium, before you even arrive at the same level with paper, where you can start to decide the actual writing.

Paper has brought us where we are today, and given us what we know about the past. Don't be so ignorant and dismissive.
