I see a society hungry for greay meat junk food packed in paper carton.

Most people at workplace print like mad.  Doesn't matter that most of them can't
read well let alone correctly interpret text.

As for myself, I've been reading books like I've never read before ever since I
bought a smartphone (soon enough on e-ink reader too).  I get my news from the
web, not from newspaper.  I don't print documents, I read them on screen (also
much better for the occasional copy-n-paste).  I pay most of my bills either
with a credit card, online in the bank or with coins (bus).

Signing perhaps is the only thing that still requires me handling paper in any
significative way.

can't speak for others, but I don't think most of my generation feel otherwise.
