Cost Of Paper
2005.10.10 0:20
If you think cost of paper is almost nothing, look at a paper in your purse, you will find a paper that read as $10, $50, $100.
If you ask how about this paper pointing at the white paper nothing was written in it, then those papers are priceless.
In short we tend to agree to pay some money for something materialistic, we tend to pay less for services or others that are not materialistic. -This is a joke site.

Some people start using only card for payment, those who practice this correspond to the recent movement -elimination of the culture of paper. As we can get all the information and books through the Internet, more and more people prefer to use other than paper of notes, books, etc.--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters [ Reply to This Parent ]

I wasn't referring to credit cards (which I refuse to use), the actual cash notes in .au are made of plastic; we stopped using paper about ten years ago.The scary part of the move towards electronic funds transfer is that the systems involved are controlled entirely by private enterprise (with the usual open ended, customer-hostile conditions...I'm amazed contracts that allow terms to be re-written by one party without the other's consent are legally permissable, but that's another rant). Often, these are the same businesses that benefit from trading international currencies; it doesn't take a genius to realise this is a potential conflict of interest.--The difficulties nerds have with the world stem from the fact that not all problems can be solved by nerdery.

I'd give it 20~40 years or so until cash is a rarity, just long enough for the old folks who aren't good with pressing buttons to die off.--The difficulties nerds have with the world stem from the fact that not all problems can be solved by nerdery.
