This article focusses on the Apple iPad, and how it is being used in some companies to replace paper.  A warehouse company based out of Indionapolis uses the iPad as mobile computers and workers had to walk an average of thirty percent.  Some restraunts in Australia are using it instead of traditional menus.  Truckers have started using it as a G.P.S. and it can track and predict when they will arrive within the hour. With the U.S. spending more than eight billion dollars every year on just paper the iPad could be more and more popular replacing paper in the future.
