I never had such a dream; I like paper. A screen doesn't look like
paper. A screen doesn't smell like paper. A screen can't be easily
folded up and taken with you to read while sitting in the doctor's
office waiting room.
I get serious eye strain when I try to read long documents on a
screen. If I have to read something long, I print it out and read it
from paper. It's also much quicker and easier to make notes in the
margin than to type out changes on a screen (especially if the
document is in some non-easily modifiable form such as PDF or PS).
Side by side comparison of non-text is easier with paper than trying
to pull up two screens or have to constantly switch between two windows.
