We are living in a technological age-some might say we are moving into a "paperless" era. Across the country (and the world), we are not just adding computers to paper resources-we are REPLACING paper resources with electronic models. For example, historic runs of newspapers are being sold or destroyed after microfilm copies are made (even the Library of Congress has gotten rid of their newspapers); gigantic card catalogs are being destroyed as libraries put their holdings online. Take a few minutes and think about paper and its importance (or unimportance) to us in this "paperless" age. Then come to some conclusions about the nature of information, keeping in mind some or all of the following questions: In this age of the Internet and other electronic resources, how vital is the function of paper (i.e. books, newspapers, magazines, card catalogs, etc.) as a way of delivering information? What sort of interaction is there or should there be between paper and its electronic counterparts? What makes information valuable and meaningful? How will a "paperless" society view information, and how will the definition or perception of information change? Or is information information regardless of how it is delivered? You won't have room to answer all of those questions; choose whichever ones you feel will best build your essay. Be sure to make an ARGUMENT about the nature of information. 500-600 words.
