As usual, I leave my sample entry for you to take as a writing model -if you want to, of course-
My
favourite piece of technology is paper. No, I am not crazy, and I do
not want to pull your leg. It is for real. Paper has almost always been
there for us, I mean, ‘us’ as humanity. So, concerning my lifetime, I
have been dealing with paper my whole life.
Paper
has multiple functionalities, so there would be a little difficult for
me to name them all. For some reason I still do not understand, paper is
a wonderful piece of edible material – meaning that you can eat it – at
least when I was a little boy. To a certain extent, paper also serves
as a beautiful media to put your thoughts on. Also, you can make
sculptures out of paper, and that would be called ‘origami’, the art of
making three-dimensional figures out of paper.
I
really do not ‘like’ paper. I would say that I ‘need’ paper because I
like to write almost everything that gets into my head. And, you would
say, ‘for there is a ton of internet out there, you could create a blog
and write whatever you want. But, and there is probably my taste for it,
paper is something you can touch, something you can feel with your
hands, and probably, within that fact, my preference of paper over the
internet would reside.
Life
would never be the same without paper. There would not be history,
culture, and a whole transmission of first-hand material for us to read
and understand how humankind used to be so long ago. Without paper,
there would be no culture at all, or at least, not a ‘durable’ culture.
Cheers.
It's a good point of view that you have on paper, but in my personal experience the paper has only make me suffer with the BEAUTIFUL tests.
ReplyDeletePaper is all too common, it is everywhere, but it is hard to imagine what our lives would be without it.
ReplyDeleteI totally get where you're coming from! I share the same view that paper is a must-have. It has been instrumental in passing down human knowledge throughout the centuries. It's mind-blowing and incredibly useful!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the ode to paper that you wrote. Personally, I'm also a big fan of paper as a tool, however I can't help but feel guilty about using up so many pages while I study.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you about the importance and functions of paper, and I also believe that it has played a significant role in the development of humanity.
I have to admit that paper has been an important technological advance that has played a crucial role in history. But the negative environmental impact from the paper industry means I don't have a strong preference for paper :s
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting point of view about paper, it certainly made me think. I think that as much as you can write in digital it's much better to do it on paper.
ReplyDeleteUse paper its not vegan, but its a good peace of piece of technology
