“All these processes are helped along by another friend of the earth, dematerialization. Progress in technology allows us to do more with less.

The digital revolution, by replacing atoms with bits, is dematerializing the world in front of our eyes. The cubic yards of vinyl that used to be my music collection gave way to cubic inches of compact disks and then to the nothingness of MP3s. The river of newsprint flowing through my apartment has been stanched by an iPad. With a terabyte of storage on my laptop I no longer buy paper by the ten-ream box. And just think of all the plastic, metal, and paper that no longer go into the forty-odd consumer products that can be replaced by a single smartphone, including a telephone, answering machine, phone book, camera, camcorder, tape recorder, radio, alarm clock, calculator, dictionary, Rolodex, calendar, street maps, flashlight, fax, and compass--even a metronome, outdoor thermometer, and spirit level.”

“Embrace the digital revolution not as a challenge but as an opportunity to innovate, create, and inspire change”
― Enamul Haque, Introduction to Digital Literacy and the Future of Computing: Computer Science Engineering (CSE) for Non-CSE Enthusiasts
