I Will Not Miss Paper

As I sort through the mountain of crap I need to move to my new apartment, I run across old files and records and decide if they are worth keeping. As I do this, my mind runs through a vision of a nearly paperless future, one that replaces fifty pounds of paper with a single optical disk. No more wirebound journals. No sketchpads. No loose pages in varying states of wear. Just a short stack of discs with digital copies of everything I will ever write or draw with redundant backups so I will never worry about losing data again. Paperless future, here I come.
