Into the Digital Dustbin ?
Some years back , listed Companies were required by law , to send to each of their share-holders , printed ( on paper ) copies of their Annual Reports - which , for some companies ran into 100 + pages - and needed to be delivered by POST to lakhs of shareholders, all over the country
Matters got worse when some 50 years ago , Govt introduced a rule that , in the Annual Reports, companies provide full details of each employee , who was paid Rs 3,000 per month or more ( even if she worked for part of the financial year )
Over the next few years, this limit got gradually raised to Rs 6000 / 9000 / 12000 pm - but the Annual Reports continued to get bulkier
Finally , Govt relented and withdrew this rule
And then with the arrival of internet and websites , Govt agreed that there was no NEED to send out printed Annual Reports to shareholders and the shareholders can download ( soft copies ) from company websites
Simultaneously , Govt introduced DEMAT version of share certificates itself
No more paper copies of shares
Nowadays , many newspapers have their e-Paper websites to which , readers can subscribe to - and read those " Papers ( ? ) " on their Mobiles !

Mankind has used " Paper " for centuries for disseminating " Content / Knowledge / Information " .
Word " Paper " has become so ingrained in our minds that , in the context of studies and examinations, we call :
> Question Papers , and
> Exam Papers , and
> Answer Papers / Answer Sheets etc
But with relentless advance of Computers / Laptops / Tablets and Mobiles , before long , these will get replaces by :
> Question Mobiles , and
> Answer Mobiles
