So what's the point of your commentary in this entire thread at all then? You're lack of need for printing serves no one except yourself in this thread about people and their printing needs/issues.

Because in every case where a person says they "need" to print one can fine a more economical, more environmental, and easier solution to printing.

None of the examples highlighted in the comment I responded to should be required for ANYONE to print, not just me. Electronic versions of each of them are better, more effective, cheaper, and have less environmental impact

That's just not true. You can have your opinion, but you are not in a place to dictate what is best for anyone except yourself. There are many reasons people prefer not reading electronic items.

One example is all of the missing animal posters people hand out and distribute.

Also, QR codes providing quick access to some electronic info is nice, but you still have to print them. Also, random QR codes placed somewhere are not going to get scanned. You must also print other things along side them to give enough info on why someone should scan the code.

I feel like I'm just feeding a troll at this point

I scan electronic QR Codes all the time. For displays and Such eINK has come a long way.

I remember not too long ago gas stations used printed cards to show the price of gas, now they use electronic signs...

I see digital signage systems that have QR Codes displays for customers to customers to scan all the time.

Menu Boards at fast food places have largely been replaced with Digital signs.

I really can not think of a single thing in the world that is not better in electronic form...

> you are not in a place to dictate what is best for anyone except yourself.

Make up your mind, when I speak of what impacts me then I am selfish and not considerate of others, when I speak for others I am talking out of turn...

You can not have it both ways
