Will Habitats ever have books?

My answer is, it depends. If carbon is relatively available, then the
paper industry will happen. Paper can be made from the parts of plants
that can't be eaten, and this stuff will accumulate naturally in any
agricultural scenerio. Because we and the rabbits can't eat it, its
disposal will have to happen. A part of the disposal program may be to
make paper.

Paper is too useful a technology to believe it will ever go away. Its
the only completely independant method of storing information. Every
other method requires a 'reader' to allow you to access the information.

Until people can use a computer the way they use a piece of paper and
a pencil, I don't think paper will ever go away.
