The idea of a paperless society has been talked about since the 1970s.
Professor F.W. Lancaster, who coined the phrase, expected its arrival by the end of
the 20th century. However, we still use millions of reams of paper every day, though a
significant decline in the use of paper is now being seen at least in the home printer
industry.

Write about 250 words to discuss the question of whether a paperless society is a feasible
reality in the near future.
