Paper and Bureaucracy
Electronic records are on the rise, but paper’s here to stay
Agencies are busily working to digitize vast troves of records they produce each year, but don’t count on a wholesale shift from boxes to computer chips.
Hard copies are here for the duration, experts say.
"Paper is not going out of style, and it’s not going away," said Matthew Eidson, director of operations at the National Archives and Records Administration’s Suitland, Md., records center.
In fact, even as electronic records increase, the quantity of paper produced by agencies is also growing, records managers said. And in the near future, that will likely continue.

In the Harry Potter series the Daily Prophet newspaper has moving images where we would expect to find photographs. I wonder if this is what the future of electronic paper looks like? Will the New York Times have a moving image on the front page? Instead of a photo of Alex Rodriguez sliding into second base maybe we would watch the whole slide?
