Why we are not sustainable? We are live in a highly developing country, the technology is developing rapidly, that people only see the product without knowing about the manufactory process. The manufactory progress is no longer visible, we only see the object as it is, and ignored the complex manufactory process.
In the past,people probably only owned one or two phones for their life, but on late 20th, Gordon Moore first proposed Moore’s Law that had changed the way of designing the product, the manufactures use this principle to producing more stuff and also keep people consuming the produce. Moore’s Law however keeps the economic trade moving, but also creates new problems.
The older product was designed to be replaced by newer product. It is influenced the consumer behaviours(I shop, therefore I am), they keep buying new stuff and throw their older products away, even though it is still function. Most of high technology products are upgraded so fast that the older version’s part is no longer be produced, the new product’s parts can’t fit into the older version, it will also be cheaper is you just change a new one, which just produce more garbage.
Also the some product is designing to be throwing away, such as the plastic bag that provide in super market, and the single use cutlery, product packaging etc. They are all designing to be thrown.
Past design is not for disassembly, the materials used are mixed and makes it impossible to be recycled and reused. The product becomes an enormous of waste, most of them ending with disposal, like incinerated or landfills, where they will release toxic ingredient from product to pollute the air, water or earth. They have change the globe climate and pollute the natural resource and will damage our health and living environment.
On the other hand, the way of producing a product is not efficient enough leaving a large number of wastes through the manufactory process. For example, the dressmaker makes a complicate pattern for fashion clothes, which will produce lots of left over textile. The waste will be much less if the pattern is well arranged to increase the usable textile surface.
Due to the advancement of global trade, we can buy the product that’s made from China and packaged in Australia, but all the shipping required is actually wasting energy and producing carbon emissions. Why don’t we just localize the manufactory, which can cut down the transportation cost and the greenhouse gases.
The Pareto principle stands that you only need to spend 20% of resource to solve 80% of problems, by all means, 80% of things that you owned are just a waste, because you only used 20% of them. Then year after year we over consume the nature resource to produce the things that we will never use.
The sustainable and ecologies concept are drawing public’s attentions, people are starting to find the problems, and trying to figure out the better solutions. People are starting to consider the consequence before products are made and designed, they development and analysing the product’s life cycle, and point out the risk and pick better ways of doing things.
Designing product should avoid non-recyclable material, which the manufactory take back the product and reuse it for new product that creates a close circle production process, and using less material to approach the maximum effect.
The product should be simple mechanical and easy to repaired, such as the Anglepoise lamp, the design is simple, and the compartment is still used in the manufactory and mechanical today.
A sustainable design should be considering the product recycled and material reused, also avoid the poisonous materials, but most importantly to educate the right consumer ethics to cherish the product, design for longevity and used

What the product stand for? What make you think the product is good?
The products were designed that whether with recyclable material, or reused the materials, in order to extend the product’s life. These designs are approaching to decrease the material waste in industry. The products are also focus on the function and the performance, which are practical and efficient. Then designs are aiming to explode the properties of environmental-friendly material with other application, which helps to build up the ecology manufactory systems.
The ideally product should be created with a close circle production life. The material can be recycled and reused, no over consumed the product or create any unconsumed waste.
How they change our life styles?
The product were trying to make us sustainable by surround us with sustainable product. The design looks into the society and find out the major impacts and eliminate the influence of environment. The product involved with our everyday life can also motivate us think green, by use the sustainable product everyday will make use care about the environment while we use it, and it will also influent the attitude of purchasing a new product. The consumer will think back and avoid the needless product or considering the ecological consequence that product produce.
By changing the product, it will also affect the user’s behaviours.

NoteSlateeSketcher
The idea is to minimize the product used. Life will be simplest with pen and paper, but replace paper with digital file. The noteslate esketch allowing user to use e-ink to write down the important information or notes, without wasting extra papers, the page will be saved into the internal hard disc, and can be pull out into computers. The battery can stayed for 180 hours before next recharge, and in the future the product will be able to power by solar panel, which provides the energy itself. The design brings the origin back writing and drawing in a sustainable way.
ENV Bike
This innovative design is approach to solve the energy resource shortage problem, which have potential to get into mass-market and replace the petrol fuel bike. The ENV bike is powered by hydrogen fuel cell power, which is zero pollution, and emits pour heat and water. It’s quiet, which makes no more noise than a home computer. The bike is light weight and easy to handle. The mechanical is using simple technology which makes it a sustainable product. The ENV bike had created a new page for automotive and eco design.
Honey pop chair
The Honey Pop Chair is design by Tokujin Yoshioka (Japan). The concept is built by glued 120 pieces of glassine paper together and uses human press to create a precisely contoured into a multi-dimensional structure. Each chair is different to each other, because it is press by individual user’s body shape which is totally ergonomic; also the paper is design in honeycomb shape which can stand a human weight. It’s an innovated design that adapting biodegradable material in producing furniture
Ultra-thin flexible speaker
The flexible speaker is made with the combination of electrode and paper with vibration thin layout. The speaker is about 1mm thin, but it more efficient than traditional speakers, each speaker only spends 10 to 100 volt, which save the electronic spend.The manufactory process is simple that normal speaker, it use the printing technique, Roll to roll which save the manufactory energy cost, and also easier to max production.The flexible speaker has the potential to get into the high technique product, such as mobile phone, and computer etc.
FarEast EcoARK
This building is made by PET bottle, the bottle is using recycle water bottle, and recreated the bottle shape like building bricks that recreate an interlocking shape like honeycomb structure. The bricks are locked to each other without chemical glues. The concept is recycling the PET bottle into the building material that’s wind resist, fireproof, shockproof and heat resist. The PET bottle building is also good because of the light weight of actual material, which is easy to transport and construct. And because of the clearance of material, the building will have natural light coming from the roof, which reduces the energy waste. The design creates a closed cycle production.
Fabrican
The fabrican is developed by Manel Torres, which make the cloth can be “spray” on. The concept is to produce a non-woven cloth, also to reduce the production waste that can save the process of cutting and sewing. The fabircan can be forming into multiple shapes, and once the shape is stayed, it creates a thin layer of fabric that can be peeled off, washed and reworn. It’s allow a personalize cloth that fit individual people perfectly, which tolerate public to create their unique wardrobe. The fabrican can also be repaired by applied a spray on top of textile loophole.
Chopstick chair
The designer Yuya Ushuda have design the chair that base on the disposable chopsticks. The research shows that China disposed 45 billion pairs of single use chopstick a year, so the design decide to used them on something more sustainable. He spent 3 month to construct a meticulously, engineering couch, that contact chopsticks with metal rings and rubber bend to make it expendable from 3 seated couch into single chair. The couch is made by 8000 recycle chopsticks.
360-Paper-Water-Bottle
The cardboard bottle has attempted to reduce the waste of billions of plastic bottles. The bottle is made from 100% renewable food safe resources, which from bamboo and palm leaves. It is fully recyclable that have potential to use for the other liquid categories. The top of bottle is design to be snapped off. To re-close, the deleted section is opened to have a hygienic cap vacant; the remaining part can be hanged on the handle to prevent waste. The bottle has cut down the energy from manufactory, and also reduces the environment impact.
Packaging lamp
The packaging lamp designed by David Gardener, which take the packaging waste into consideration. The design has cut off the waste of product packaging by transform the packaging into product itself. The product comes with two single side lamp moulds and with the light bulb and wires locked inside, to use it, just installed the light bulb and wires into the right position and closed the lamp shape moulds. The packaging is made from recycle pulp, that allow 3 dimensional sculptural to hold the electronic compartment. The concept has eliminated the packaging waste and also recycling the renewable materials.
Taipei flower expo green building
The building is for the flower explore exhibition. It is built to fit the natural environment that next to the greens. In order to cool down the interior temperature, the building grows plane on the roof and also insert solar panel which can offer enough electronic for the building, the roof top also take the sun light indoors. The building can collect rain drop by the high penetration brick, which recycle the water to growing the indoor planets. The recycling water is also use to cycle around the building walls which will help to lower the temperature inside.
What is sustainable design?
The sustainable design is the design that has longevity and also durable, the sustainable design is not just ecofriendly but also means the conscious design, which designed for real used.
The sustainable design is not only in the product itself; it’s also included with technology and ideas of discovering the new or alternative material (which has less environmental factors , the systems that we live in and the production processing, product used, also the attitude and behaviour of people using the product.
The sustainable design is to design the product from the very first step, which means the designer should consider the raw material process, manufactory, user phase and also the end of life. All the process has to reduce the energy and recourses, also to eliminate the environmental impact course by manufactory process, make the product more efficient in order to reduce the energy waste, the product also need to consider the end of life, to reduce the general waste and the ecology impact.
Why is sustainable design so important?
We now live in the society that the technology is so well-developing, but it also bring us a lot of problems, the company want to sell new product and make the fortunate. The product is made in such way that so unsustainable and will be replacing easily by new product, which help the economic trend, but it also makes the disposal become a serious issue.
The manufactory production is complicated that involve a lot of chemical and manufactory process. In order to make the product with good looking and have tough properties, the process will adding a lot of energy and toxic chemical, this will exhaust enormous carbon emissions and poisoning gases which will flow into air and polluted the environment. The toxic chemical will attend with product during the used, and the product is disposal with land filler, it will ruin the land with the toxic elements.
The energy and resource on earth is not infinity, but we keep over producing and consuming resource without planning which already creating a lot of unnecessary waste, if we didn’t consider those part, we will be running out of resource soon.
It is better to consider those possible concerns before the product produce, the material used, the process, the end of life, in order to reduce the serious ecology consequence.
How can design response?
Due to the designer’s ability to make connect with industrial and user, the designer should think deep and also making the right decisions on designing sustainable product or systems, then use this capability to brought them into the society, and create a better system that help human society can coexist with environment.
The designer should consider the environment impact that caused by materials, and manufactory process. The designer played an important character in saving environment.
The designer brought the manufactory technique and the new technology into an idea or concept and making them into the product, which also solving the problems.
GreenFly Computer VS Paper Book
What are the benefits of computers?
It good for organizing a lot of information, and also help people editable, get things down, which helps to reduce the material waste from printing. The computer has multifunction that help the user working different things in the same time, which increase the efficiency of human’s work. The computer compound all the information into a small CPU which reduce the space of storage actual books and information, also it good for sharing the information simply by copy and paste it.
What are the environments impacts will computer cost?
The computer is made with multiple materials, which is difficult to separate them, when the product goes to disposal stage; most of material is not recyclable and always end up with landfilled. Due to the rapid develop of computer technology (base on Moore’s Law), the comput-er is not made for sustainable used, which will be replace by new product every year. The manu-factory keeps producing but ignored the disposal stages, which increase the material waste and also polluting the environment a lot.
What are the benefits of books?
With actual book, it is portable and handy; user can make marks on the page, it is also with existing body that allow user to flipping the pages, also good for finding information while needs, which create the interaction between user and books. The actual books also provide that different texture and weight with paper, which give reader a feeling sensory.
What are the environments impact courses by books?
The book is used for delivering information or technology; a book will be keep for genera-tion. But contemporary, the information flows fast, that the new information comes out quick that printing speed can’t catch up with it. However, the book seems more environmental friendly than computer, but some of the books are only single used, that people only read once or twice, such as text book. The whole manufactory process is wasting a lot of water and electronic, but only for single used. The book is print with chemical ink which included lead, mercury, ethanol etc… Those materials will pollute the environment during used till the end of life.
The reports above are the scenarios of books and personal computer that analyze the single product from raw material though manufactory, use and end of life. Each report shows the energy resource have spent from each stage. The precise of data might impacted by unknown factors.From the report we can tell that manufactory computer will produce more greenhouse gases than book, and also the solid waste consumed during the production process.
The manufactory process of paper book involved with lot amount of waters from washing to bleach. The processing for producing computer is even more complex, due to the accuracies control for install transistor metal and other internal compartment, also computer compartments are mostly made from metal for sustainable reason, which were need a lot amount of energy on manufactory.
From the raw material to manufactory also required transportation. The computer raw materials are comes from different places, for example, the metal are from Australia, the plastic are send from China, and all the compartment are collecting and assembled in United Stated, then exporter sell them to different centuries. The paper is also involved transportation from one country to another. All of the transportation coursed a lot of carbon emissions, which coursed the climate changed.
Then again, for producing the base of book- paper also required a lot of energy resource, for example: water. The paper was produced from trees. In fact, growing trees created a lot of carbon dioxide also spend a lot of water. The book ink which printed on book is toxic as well, once the book has been land filled, the toxic chemical ink were leak into earth which will make the land can’t be used for growing plant.
On the user stage, the computer consumed energy and produce greenhouse gases during used, but book only spent power in manufactory process. Overall energy demand for computer is almost 6 times of the books manufactory needed.

(Global warming) x (kg)/ (use time) = manufactory phase
computer:53.38x 2.8/5=29.8928 paper book:6.14x0.7/30 = 0.15 29.8928/0.15= 200
The data above shows that a computer has to use for reading about 152 books to break even the impact of the manufactory phase in comparison to a paper book.
It’s true that computer can reduce the book that print out and reduce the paper waste, but most of energy spent on computer is actually over consumed, because even if the computer has been turn off or in low energy mood, it still consumed energy and exhausted greenhouse gases. The research from past showed that a personal computer is estimated to be turned on for 8 hours per day, 240 days per year. Altogether it runs for 9600 hours during its lifetime. Therefore the energy that is consumed is around 1.3788MWh during its use.
For disposal stage of computer, 30% of material from computer can be reused or recycled; but the rest 70% material are difficult to disassembly and broken into pieces which had end up with land filled.
So disposal computer in fact is a nasty job, although take off all the recyclable material, there are still a lot of them finished with land filled.
On the other hand, paper, seems unhurt with environment, the material is recyclable and biodegradable, but in manufactory one piece of A4-paper have to consumed around 10 liters of water.
To solve the water waste from paper, manufactory collecting the paper waste and repro-duced recycled paper. From the EPA’s (United Stated Environmental Protection Agency) report also found out that from recycling paper it’s in fact reduced 35% of water waste pollution and 74% of air pollution than making virgin paper.
For the conclusion, computer is superior for the current report and new technology inno-vation, for example, the breaking news or new information from science or medical center which help to reduce the amount of paper waste for printing magazine and newspaper.
In comparison, the book is still good for kept knowledge, the book can also be recycled and delivery to another people for longer life cycle, such as donated it to the state library and charity which will be used for more people and extend the product life cycle.
However a book is lasting longer than computer, for example book can be shifter to an-other user and also kept by library or family, which in contrast computer renewed every year that only last about 5 years. Reference:

After class reflections
The comparison of computers and books
From the overall result, it is obvious that the book is eco-friendly than computers, but taking all the different tools which combined several device’s functions, such as CD player, photo album, calculators, internet, dictionary, games and TV, the computer may become less bad then original result.
The computer had been used frequently every day. But in compared the book is normally single used of either reading or writing.
If considering the future that computer is dematerializing all those products then the computer may become less bad.
What is Paperless?use less paper or without paper?
What is the function of paper?
The paper is the great invention on the world, it is handy and portable, and people can easily get idea down to the page and also transfer the knowledge and information to different place.
The paper can also for labelling and organizing a lot amount of information, the information on the paper is based on the popular language, without paper, people won’t be able to communicate with same language. The paper is also representing the terrific of culture and traditions, without paper, the culture and tradition will be lost during the times. The paper from the past is built up a country and also documenting the history, which help us learn the lesson from the past.
Paper is also a symbol, the money we used is made in paper, the greeting card, letter, and even the human right declaration is a piece of paper. Why used paper? In the user point of view, the digital technology still need to working on a lot of improvement, the data could be hacked by someone else or could be accident delete or damage by other factors. On the other hand, people still doubted the digital database storage, user need to have battery to dive the computer in order to check the file. However the paper is portable, user can use it wherever they are.
Paper in everyday life enforce memory by repeat the writing in class by writing the class note help student concentrated on lesson help to get idea and concept down before forget the hint or reminding help to organizing the thought labelling items packaging
In order to encourage people used digital books, instead of printing paper, I look at the reason why people used paper, instead of digital e-books.
Why used paper: weight, touch, texture, portable, interaction with paper, visible, no extra context (easy to find the reference or information they wanted), hand writing skill, that is more meaningful than the publisher
By looking at those answers, I think that might be possible that if the new design can offer some paper’s properties that help people get used to digital e-books, than people might become more welling to use the product instead of papers.
If the technology develop into a stage that, people can depend on technology, than it might reduce the use and dependence of paper, or totally replace the paper from used.
It will be hard to avoid people used paper, just because people are get used to use paper; we used paper generation by generation which already become a tradition of education and learning method.
But if let people start to use digital equipment from the beginning, than they may find it’s no problem for them to use the computer for doing things.
A product is interacted with human, it’s will also influence the behaviour. Human is really good at absorbing and adapting new information or new technology. While the habit is settled, people just become lazy to changing the behaviours, and expecting the future design is going to do everything to make their life even more convenient. So through the designing process, the designer should also provide the motivation factor in order to encourage people become more activate on working things out, and it is also designer’s reasonability to make sure the new product is better for people.
On the other hand, imaging the future without paper and pen, then it might change the way of learning, no paper, and no language boundary. There won’t be any different language and culture or tradition, people communicate without language or word. The future technology allows us to understand by interaction or massages that help the information flows faster.

Green education for students:
1. 8 weeks lessons “Saving the planet” with the concept of 4Rs (recycle + reuse + reduce + rethink) 2. They teach the method of recycling newspaper to remake paper for mother’s day card. 3. The students understand the basic of product life cycle including end of life landfill, and they respect the environment by understanding the process of making the sheet of paper.4. They reused the newspaper for table clothes
Teacher interview 1
The upper grade teacher seemed pretty open about the technology that involved into school systems. She talked about the new online communication system between parents and teachers, which reduce about 1000 sheet of paper printing. She also mentioned about the online campus that student could have classes on the net and also submit online assessment, which will reduce a lot of paper, also changing the whole school systems. She doesn’t mind that students used computer to do work instead of handwriting, however the computer auto spelling check might let them down with future spelling skills, but she thinks that student will understand the word through the typing process, and that’s important that the main theme of learning are the process not the outcomes. For the teaching methods, she’s trying to use a mixture of interactive media and textbook. Sometimes the kids would learn from the websites, film, videos and answer the questions in their exercise book.
The upper grade classroom actually has facilities such as white board, projectors that assisting teacher to showing the video or the image from computer that help to reduce the paper used. The teacher was positive with the technology into studies. She suggested that the school introduce iPad into studies (they seemed more preferring I pad systems rather than computers), and they seemed getting along with the new technology pretty well. But then again, the technology is not that common at the moment; it requires a lot of money to get the school into the fully electronic equipment systems, so papers are still important for the school system.
Teacher interview 2
The other teacher also commented about the unreliable of technology systems. The network was not stable enough that teacher or students couldn’t access to the system properly that made a lot of troubles. However, the teacher said the test paper is necessary for teacher and students (simple to understand, visible). She mentioned that papers are important for kids’ learning development, but she also regretted about the huge amount of paper consumed over the years (about 1000 rings of papers). The reports were printed twice a year and each report was printed out twice (one for draft copy, one for the teacher correcting copy for student). She also stated that the hand on learning process is necessary for kid’s early stage development. She believed that the outdoor activities will give the student a connection between the real worlds, by that student will respond and respect the natural environment, which is missing in the digital world. Also the electronics are expensive now, so papers are still in used.
She also talked about the activities are for kids to develop different abilities. As the fact that individuals have different talent, through the hand on activities allows them to discover their potential capabilities that are good for their future development.
Newport Gardens Primary School
Overall Paper Used
Teacher interview 1
The teacher doesn’t agree that the new technology will replacing the paper used, and she believes that paper is necessary in the education process that creates the hand on activities. The writing practice will help student enforce the memorising and also concentrated in the classroom (taking note…etc). The teacher also talk about the common problem in young generation: can’t spell the word. She said that this problem is caused by computer auto word check which make the student relied on the keyboard too much.
The teacher thought that the hard copy is portable and tangible which makes it significance and hard to replace by digital copy, also the emotional side of paper; the handwriting letter seems more meaningful and valuable then the e-mail. The e-mail become meaningless is mainly because the convenient of it that often the e-mail is writing with no-sense, and some not urgent information. The reason she can’t get along with high technology equipment is because the complexity of digital system that need time adaption, and also the negative side of electricity that will ruin human health. Although, she is suggesting the education should focus on reduce the waste instead of a brand new systems or product.
The paper that used in both school included the posters, presentation board, signs and report; the presentation board are normally with colour paper, which would stand out more than blank paper, and they did use computer for assistant typing and organising the idea (plan draft) on paper.
For the classroom, they also have large poster that remind student the synonyms and alternative grammar, which emphasise the phrase or the word. The school facility offers the word card with different phrase that helps student understanding the structure of the sentence. With the separate word cards, they also laminated them so that the cards can last longer, that is more sustainable than thin paper (easy to damage).
The poster or signs in class will be replaced by once or twice a years, and it seems helpful for enhance memory.
Each student has 8 exercise books during a year, and they can choose to donate it or keep it after used.
The school systems also waste a lot of paper from correcting students’ work. The papers are printed twice during the correcting. The school systems reduce the newsletter printing form making it digitally, and it is actually reduced 30% of paper used in school.

By the school visiting, allow us to understanding the current state of paper used in school. The two schools we’ve being visiting are two classic examples of current school, one with conventional teaching methods, and the other is innovative teaching method which utilized technology and traditional method of pedagogy.
Recently, due to the lack of nature resource and environment pollution, people stated to pay attention on the environment awareness. The school also facing the over consumed of paper in education, the school that don’t have enough bodged is holding the basic solution; such as double side printing and reducing the paper printing. But it doesn’t change the current state that still consuming a lot of paper.
For the school that with more funding will purchasing more technology product to assist student learning, and reducing the number of print out, but there still existed a lot of barrier and negative on the technology used in school; such as the inconvenient of the systems (not user friendly), cost issues,energy consuming and the down side of electrical facility (for example: EM wave/Electromagnetic Waves,not suitable for long term reading). Those problems let the paper reduce in school inefficient; first of all, school is still printing things out, the paper is still preferred on education, due to the technology is not common on everyone at school (affordance), and also the reading habits that over generations is bring out sub-equipment; such as printer, photocopier to help spread the computer technology.
The teachers also hold different ideas with the change of technology and pedagogy, the first school teacher cannot agree with the learning that without paper, but the other teacher is more positive with the technology developed and expecting the better technology to solve the problem.
Both school’s paper used is not decrease but increase. Even thought the school with better technology facility and internet system, the paper used is just remained on certain level but not decreased dramatically. School is still utilized paper as the education tools, because the benefit of this technology, before the paper was invented, people used stone carving, clay, animal bones, bamboo, silk or sheepskin, but those ,material is too heavy or hard to write and maintain. The paper is light weight, portable and easy to produce, also can be carry around, which make it become so popular in the world.
After the computer comes out, Bolter, J.D predict that in the future, the paper book will replace by e-books, he identify this “paperless” age as “the late age of printing”, but seems that is not exactly true, because paper is not replace by new technology, but continues to flourish, which make paper coexist with technology as the transition time.
To reduce the current paper used, the school needs to start by reducing the sub-facilities for output (printing), and also encourage people utilized computer or other electrical facilities to read or write.
However there is a new technology comes out to make the digital text contact directly with user: electrical paper. The e-paper is developed to replace paper printing. Overall the electrical paper is just “the paper used electricity” because the method of reading is still as same as tradition way, but as Bolter, J.D mention on his book<Writing Space>, during development of new technology, it is always follows the old technology or method at first. Now a day is the transition process of typing and digital reading.
So far, to reduce the paper used every day can start with the basic; used recycled paper, but the recycle paper cost more than virgin blank paper, due to the process of deinking, and this process also consumed a lot of water. In the end, 3 tons of recycle paper, only made out of 1 tons paper pulps. On the other hand, the different printing process like bronzing and glazing is make recycle even harder.
Most of recycle paper is used inside the cardboard boxes, because human psychology and physiology, people preferring white paper, cause it look clear and clean, make the reading easier. The paper is still essential on the society, because the technology is still on the development stage that doesn’t have enough capability to replace paper. According to the research shows that reading paper is 30% more efficiency than reading with screen. Due to the paper can be adding marks and notes.
Also the old generation is still preferred reading paper, so it is also the matter of time that the new generation may be more adapting with new technology than the older generation. But if the media of reading is still using paper, than it will be hard to get rid of paper in the short term.
In American salon magazine, there is an article mention that after the computer become universal, the paper used is actually increased every year. The average paper used increased 100 pounds each year, and over the decade, the paper consumed over a year is increased from 8 thousand 7 hundred million tons to 9 thousand 9 hundred million tons.
Even thought the computer become more and more popular over years, but people is still get used to print the hard copy in hand, this is because the computer has being used as an assisting and enforcing “tools”. The computer helps enforce the efficiency of work, and it also become one of the “paper making” process, because people editing or typing work in the computer to print out with better layout. Due to the traditional reading habits, that makes computer become the appending items of paper, people see the computer as the auxiliary tools, but not the reading media.
Because the reading method, the computer has developing lot different range output facilities; such as printer, photocopier, and fax etc… From the facilities has come out can see that the computer dose become the part of paper reading’s process.
