The E-paper

This video is quite clear to explain what is e-paper, and how does it work. The e-paper was produced by technology, and it may helps print.

Electronic paper, e-paper or electronic ink display is a display technology designed to mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.

E-paper has broken the traditional model of reading. Some people think that E-paper will replace paper appears in people's lives, and more environmentally friendly. But I think not. Newspapers play irreplaceable role in people's lives.

Although the newspaper really done some damage on the environment, but many newspapers are recycled. And, with the development of electronic, newspapers have indeed been some impact, but newspapers are still reading way of many people choice.

However, E-paper have own benefits and provides a reference for the future transformation of the newspaper. If the newspaper agencies publish some own or cooperative E-paper, so what will happen?

Nowadays network is an exponential growth, explosive growth, because of convenience, more and more people recognize that the Internet, the growth of internet users is more far that traditional media.
