• Question: Do you think that in the next couple of years there could be holographic textbooks for schools that need no paper, therefore saving money on paper and saving trees from extinction?

      Sure why not.
      When I was at school they just used chalk boards which was only 10 years ago. I mean – we did have some IT, but only in specific IT lessons. So technology which is a bit novel now could well be being used on a day-to-day basis in 10 years time. And saving the environment is a good driver for new technology so people would be willing to invest in it.

      Ah man that would be awesome, I hope so! I definitely think we’re moving away from use of paper — I read all my books and comics on my tablet these days. I have to admit I still use paper for doing maths on and printed textbooks.

      I think it might be one of those things where you just have to not give people the option any more and they’ll get used to going paperless eventually!

      It would be a nice idea and anything to save trees gets my vote 🙂

      I think an ebook would have the same effect on paper reduction and be a much cheaper solution. Still an holographic book sound cool.
