Paperless Newspapers?

Xerox Corporation already has a prototype. You take their foldable sheet of plastic into a phonebooth and download the daily news. When you return the next day the cyber connection will erase the previous news and fill up your transparent film with the latest happenings. The idea is to save paper. Srila Prabhupada didn’t like the cutting of trees or the cluttering of streets with throwaway papers. He writes in the Seventh Canto: “The cutting of trees simply to manufacture paper for the publication of unwanted literature is the greatest sinful act.” (7.2.12)
