As I sit here, I feel I could return to the time of Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, when people said something was not authentic unless it was handwritten and that printers were an untrustworthy idea. The machines could produce many documents. People asked how they could possibly be secure if they did not have a handwritten inscribed document. I am certain this is what they said 500 years ago and it is now being said again. People suggest that this electronic way to communicate is suspect. I should have a screen in front of me in this House on which I could access the information without needing buckets of paper.
