In Response to Doc's Post: Mobility

The lack of visibility of comments is making things difficult when asking a question in response to a post. 

In the post, Mobility, I learned interesting things such as the weight of the laptops back then. 

This is a question I wanted to pose to Doc in relation to that post.

1. Things are becoming more simplified. The mobility has been simplified, people don’t have to bother with things that faced the older generation. No more carrying so many printed papers or many batteries for the fear the phone may died during an important event or dire situation.

Doesn’t the world’s need for simplicity leads to extinction of former technologies that are also important? The use of fax machines is declining including scanners. Doesn’t this project a sad fact that some jobs will be wiped out of existence e.g. stationeries that depend of faxing and scanning services etc?

Thanks.
