Tablets to replace paper printers soon
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
According to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), paper printers will soon become a thing of the past due to the rising popularity of tablets that have more accessible price points.
Speaking with the group's technical expert Kevin Curran, he told that within four years, no one will need to print anything on inkjet or laserjet printers anymore, as we will instead access and review documents and images digitally. "The printer will be a thing of the past and there'll be no need for hard copies. The more time you spend online, the more at home you feel reading on tablets instead where everything can now be done virtually," Curran said.
Curran highlighted that the introduction of cheaper tablets, such as the Aakash a.k.a Ubislate 7+from India, will help push this trend of digital document, image and video viewing to become the norm. Curran compared the time in which paper printers will have become obsolete to the rise of devices such as Apple's iPad, which has taken less than four years to achieve global dominance since launch, so much so that people cannot imagine a time without them.
While paper printing on inkjet and laserjet machines will see a fatal decline in the home, Curran predicts that this will not be replaced by 3D printing, saying that "not everyone's home will have one", like many industry experts have muttered lately. This is due to the lack of affordability of good quality, industry grade 3D printers........ See More
