I'm torn between thinking that the Paper Phone is a neat little idea and the proposition that as long as your personal data is in the Cloud then the trick is to arrange things so that you have access to it wherever you are via whatever devices are at hand so you don't need to waste paper printing a daily digest:
Or is it all rendered irrelevant because you're destined to end up using a blank sheet of paper or a dictaphone to note down stuff that you'll need to add to your electronic To Do list and so on when you get back home, so why not just carry round a device that lets you do that?
In practice this is a purely theoretical exercise for me for now as a) I'm firmly in the grasp of Apple's ecosystem, and b) I don't even have a printer to hand in my flat to [print out that list. I wonder how long it'd take Apple1 to incorporate a feature like this in iPadOS?

- Or will some enterprising third party put up an app to do this? Will we end up with half a dozen clones of this idea as different people have different propositions about how best to arrange all this data in the minimum number of printed pages? ↩
