What a fascinating discussion - lest my only contribution to it be "potty humor", I would like to interject the thought that what John, Pat, and others have been describing are what Sellen and Harper characterized as the relative affordances of paper and electronic documents in "The Myth of the Paperless Office".  I don't think I could ever go back happily to a world before computers and smartphones with all the wealth of information and assistants at my beck and call, but I also know there are times when only paper provides certain, well, affordances that make my work or entertainment more efficient or comfortable. 

Maybe someday all the affordances that paper offers can be provided along with the amazing affordances of electronic information - and I will say "hear, hear".  In the meantime, I believe that this change like all change will be very slow in coming.
