= Do you have anything to add to your previous answers?
I would emphasise the point that as regards the future of endangered languages, the Internet speeds everything up. If people don't care about preserving languages, the Internet and accompanying globalisation will greatly speed their demise. If people do care about preserving them, the Internet will be a tremendous help.
= How much do you still work with paper?
I work with paper a lot, but far less than with computer delivered information. I write about 2.000 e-mails per year, compared to about 100 letters and about 500 phone calls and about 15 faxes.
= Will there still be a place for paper in the future?
Yes, there will still be a place for paper for a long long time to come, but its share will continue to decline compared to computer-delivered information.
= What do you think about e-books?
I don't know much about what e-books are. WWW is the really important thing.
