# Multiple copies

Yes, of course (again). Multiple copies that are not distributed are useless. Archives must be distributed and that’s the goal of Owark.

She is talking about the business model behind it. The traditional publishing houses. And I think she is right on that. It doesn't mean at all. That printed texts will necessary disappear. The digital world doesn't kill art and expression, it kills some business models based on different paradigm: objects. # Multiple copies That said: I deeply agree with the multiple copies. One of the DNA of our culture is the fact it is being copied in many items AND distributed. It's the teaching of Alexandria Library. If the library burns, the thing is gone. Having only one copy of something (be paper or digital) makes it super fragile. # Digital/Physical world The big issue with the digitized culture is that it is indeed highly dependent on electricity as a mean of sustainability. No Power and everything is gone. void. The paper has a nice feature in terms of format. It is highly resistant to many things. It has its own weaknesses such as fires, transportation cost, humidity, ink oxidation, etc., etc. Should we print everything is a hard question. Because it creates another ecological issues. You need a hell lot of papers (and electricity to produce the paper) to keep and *print* all these materials. The cost of printing and the cost of keeping are highly dependent on electricity too. :) Not an easy solution. I think there is another drama which is plaguing our societies: the will to keep everything. Things disappear and we have to (re)learn to cope with that. Let it go.
