I though about this because i'm work with laser cartridge technology and have wondered if my type of work will still exist in the future. I imagine this would be after my time, but you never know.
Think about this. Do you think new technologies will arise that will eliminate the need to produce another hard copy, a photo, a business document of some sort.
Document already can be stored in a mobile device, such as a pda, or tablet pc. Maybe something simpler we come around that is small and thick not much bigger than a piece of paper that could store thousands of documents. This would be handy to keep a desk tidy.
Some people print their own photos now. How about photo albums that are digital. Pages that are like a very thin display and pictures could be uploaded to it. Photos to hang on the wall. Maybe one day all the walls in the home will be a digital display and you could manage certain sized columns and rows and upload the pictures to whatever space on the wall you like.
Micr toner to print checks. It's easy to see that debit/credit cards will take over. Maybe a new card or some other personal device that you can place in your wallet can wirelessly receive your receipt from the stores register without the need to print one. This would be very handy at tax return time. Tax returns may all be filed electronically which is currently possible.
Electronic books, bibles, sticky notes, memos you name it.
I see a possible future without ink, and toner, and printing all together. What does everyone else think.
