Interesting that you have Bruce Sterling writing about paper vs pixels; one of my favourite books is his "The Hacker Crackdown", freely released over the internet back in the dark ages - 1994 I think.

Sterling has written on typewriter, and he's written freely available electronic copy - I think that when his work, like "Schismatrix" is also taken into account he's not the luddite you might have assumed from the post...
