Yeah, but scientific papers? Isn't that just taking the human race a giant step backwards?

So paper is the final frontier?

Hundreds of years old tech is the optimum and 21st century tech like tablet computers is a step backwards for humanity?

Are you intentionally missing the point? The objection was with apps and encrypted SWFs/PDFs, not all "21st century tech".

OK .... looks like someone's in a bad mood

Well no other tech has been demonstrated to last for literally centuries, other than paper.
