Those are very good points Dr. Drib.
There are definitely certain professions that more or less require paper in certain instances.
Some will get a way from paper like doctor's offices--the doctor I go to years ago scrapped paper files and uses a tablet PC to pull up files, send prescriptions to the pharmacy etc. Though they still have printers to sometimes printout prescriptions, referrals etc.
But for things like field anthropology, journalism etc. a notepad is more practical (doesn't need electricity, is less obtrusive than a gadget etc). And for me the big hurdle is tablet writing technology to improve to a point were I can write small and legibly on a portable tablet device. I struggle even on full size tablet PC, so I'm a real lost cause on palm pilots etc.
