Make documents available only as apps. This is a troll, right? You just gave us a very scary glimpse of the future.

  Zinio and other magazine apps already do this. They're either encrypted SWFs or PDFs on the backend.

    Yeah, but scientific papers? Isn't that just taking the human race a giant step backwards?

      So paper is the final frontier? Hundreds of years old tech is the optimum and 21st century tech like tablet computers is a step backwards for humanity?

        Are you intentionally missing the point? The objection was with apps and encrypted SWFs/PDFs, not all "21st century tech".

          OK .... looks like someone's in a bad mood
      • TheZenPsycho 13y ago
        Well no other tech has been demonstrated to last for literally centuries, other than paper.
