Publishing on paper will draw up to an end in the next 30 years. That’s what some high-tech experts have said ever since computers began appearing in everyone’s workplace. If you have ever read a newspaper online, you have experienced a tiny part of what paperless future look like.
New technology will certainly continue to revolutionize written communication. But will the use of paper in our everyday lives really disappear anytime soon? Well, don’t give up on paper just yet.
Paper, an ancient Chinese invention, has dominated(主宰) written communication for centuries. Cai Lun, an official in the
Today, surprisingly, it seems the digital age has actually strengthened the importance of paper. Studies show that paper use has doubled in the last 20 years. People still like to print their longer documents and e-mails. But today’s technology is rapidly improving. And efforts toward a paperless world continue.
The Internet is clearly one giant step. Many of the publications have created Web sites that offer everything in their paper editions―and even more. Their Web sites can be continually updated as news happens. Other types of material have also fit well into the digital age. Dictionaries and other reference books actually work better in a paperless format. Information published on a Web site or CD-ROM can be kept more current.
In addition publishers have begun to produce e-book version of their best sellers. New e-book readers---a simple computer about the size of a paperback book―can store nearly a hundred books. But e-books haven’t gained a large following.

In the old days of publishing, getting your manuscript into the hands of an editor often meant mailing the unsolicited finished product to the offices of literary agents or editors, where it would receive a cursory look from an editorial assistant — or none at all.
A modern version of the slush pile is the online “writing community,” a Web site where aspiring novelists can post their ideas, writing samples or manuscripts and open them to comments and reviews from strangers. On Tuesday Penguin Group USA, the publisher of Tom Clancy, Kathryn Stockett and Nora Roberts, will unveil its own venture, Book Country, a Web site for writers of genre fiction. In its initial phase Book Country will allow writers to post their own work — whether it’s an opening chapter or a full manuscript — and receive critiques from other users, who can comment on points like character development, pacing and dialogue. Later this summer the site will generate revenue by allowing users to self-publish their books for a fee by ordering printed copies. (The books will bear the stamp of Book Country, not Penguin, and the site is considered a separate operation from Penguin.) The site will also explain the business of finding an agent, marketing and promoting a book, using social media and handling digital and subsidiary rights.
Penguin hopes the site will attract agents, editors and publishers scouting for new talent, and allow writers to produce work with more polish and direction than they could otherwise. The project has been spearheaded by Molly Barton, the director of business development for Penguin and the president of Book Country. “One of the things I remember really clearly from my early editorial experiences was this feeling of guilt,” Ms. Barton said in an interview. “I would read submissions and not be able to help the writer because we couldn’t find a place for them on the list that I was acquiring for. And I kept feeling that there was something we could do on the Internet to really help writers each other.”
1. How did an author send unsolicited finished products to editors in the old days of publishing? _______________________________________________
2. The online “writing community” is where aspiring novelists post their ideas and ___________________________________________________________________________
3.The site uses social media and digital and subsidiary rights to _______________________.[来
4.What’s the real purpose of Penguin creating the web site? _______________________________________________
