Advancements in technology contributed to the changes in processes, materials and production of paper that have in return lowered the price of paper and paper goods. This has flooded the market with affordable and practical paper products. One of the most common uses of this cheap paper is communication and correspondence through letters, newspapers and magazines. The United States Postal Service will carry a letter anywhere in America for only 33 cents, and in 1999, Americans mailed over 120 billion letters and 51 billion oversized letters, magazines and newspapers (ThePostalGateway.com). This ability to communicate quickly and affordably through Ts'ai Lun's ancient invention brings many families, some separated by thousands of miles, closer together.
Not only has paper affected the education and economy of today's society, but it has also changed the home and office environments by providing inexpensive, practical and durable products. Few households find themselves without cardboard boxes, paper towels, paper plates, toilet paper, Kleenex, napkins or Post-It notes. Paper plates and napkins are cost efficient alternatives to heavier, less portable kitchenware. Storage would not be the same without the cardboard box and many people couldn't organize their lives without the use of Post-It notes. Both toilet paper and Kleenex provide disposable, cheap and sanitary methods for sometimes unsanitary processes. Businesses all over the world rely on durable, high quality paper products for inter-office memos, reports, proposals and other business documents. A typical office swims in a sea of paper with the average office worker using approximately 12,000 sheets of paper every year (Worldwatch News Release). .
Digital information storage consists of nothing more than ones and zeros. A user enters information into a computer, and through a series of processes and the use of sophisticated hardware and software, the computer represents that information by a long string of tightly packed ones and zeros.
