The article discusses about electronic paper. The story of electronic paper (e-paper), so far, has proved to be what could be termed techno-hyperenthusiasm. Electronically rewritable paper requires two basic components. A substrate and something electrically controllable that can serve as the ink. If the epaper material has good enough image retention, it can be written by a device analogous to a printer, and then taken out and used just like a normal sheet of paper.

The article refers to the idea of a paperless office as an illusory chimera and focuses on a tablet-based writing system from Logitech Inc. that is digital and also uses paper. The io2 Digital Writing System has a USB-connected pen stand that can send electronic mail or drawings and features Anoto paper technology.
