People often say we have entered the electronic age. Computers have become the center of life. No one can live and work without computers. In the future,ever you can work and study at home before a PC. There won't be piles of files. Instead,a disc is Ok enough.
With the appearence of printers, the pen becomes less useful than before. And since the computer was created,paper is also gradually giving way to the screen, which can show lively moving things from different sides in the same picture. It is ture that with the development of science,such products as computers and printers will be the major tools in our future life and work. But the traditional tools will also exist for a long time to supplement the function of the modern ones. At least, we still need pens to sign with and paper to sign on.
What about your opinion?

Thre replacement have already started. I'm using my pocket pc for jotting down notes and transferring it to my laptop but nothing can beat the traditional way of writing. While it's true that you can store a sizeable memory, the fact remains that when you lost a file a document or have your memory card corrupted, you don't have any choice but to start all over again. though one good habit is backing up your file. one cannot control the computer, the machine. what i'm trying to say is that whenever i write on the paper, i'm always in control of it. of whether i want to throw it away or keep it. i can carry it with me in places where carrying a laptop or pocket pc would be too risky or inconvenient. but in the end, i need not to choose between the two. by using both properly, i'm able to make the best out of the traditional way and the new method.

I am sorry to see that pen culture is less important in our society...Sometimes,we should use it if pc is out of working!

I seriously think that computers will soon replace paper and pens. Why will we need paper and pens now, when we have our fingure prints. i'm surprised that they didn't think about just using our finger prints to sign things... just give it a few more years...
