Paper will be destroyed in 2040

'In 2040, the paper will disappear and replace them as digital documents' , which is the judgment of the head of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Mr. Francis Guru, head of the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), based in Geneva, told reporters La Tribune de Geneve his remarks that 'in the next few decades, there will be no paper-based newspapers like we used to use today. '

He said: 'It is an evolutionary process - whether we think good or bad - it still happens. There are studies that prove that printed newspapers will disappear by 2040. This event will happen in the US much earlier, around 2017 '.

Mr. Gurry noted that there were more digital versions sold in the US than the paper version. We are witnessing in cities, bookstores are getting less and less . 'The key issue is the payment system , ' he said.

'How does the editor get money to pay royalties for authors to write articles?', The Guru asked and noted that 'Copyright system must be protected as a mechanism for payment (profit) pen) for authors'.
