i was thinking that this article would be about dropbox and 3d printing! agree with the author about his points, however, the title really got me thinking, what if you could store things to paper, it's a relatively cheap medium, take qr codes as an example, stored to paper (or image file), reproducible via bit for bit. tun out of hd space? print

I'm not sure printing data is as cheep as you think it is. I did a quick back of the envelope calculation: From [1] I got an upper bound of 1,800 DPI in printers From [2] I got that ink costs 0.0062 $/in^2 Using those numbers, the cost of ink comes out to be about $5.83 per megabyte. On the other hand, a quick Google search for "hard drive" got a sponsored result for $80 1-terabyte drive from Newegg, comming out to $0.0000762 per megabyte.
