We don't have to search through paper documents, and we can quickly send them to other people. 黄刚: Right. They also don't take up physical space and are relatively easy to store. 小潘: Does that mean we won't need paper documents anymore in the future? 黄刚: Not necessarily. For some important documents, we still need to examine the originals. 小潘: Why? Aren't digital files the same? 黄刚: Not exactly. With the originals, we can see the color of the paper, the seals, and the way things were written in the past. This information is very important. 小潘: I see. When studying history, looking at the original documents can give us a clearer understanding. 黄刚: Exactly. Digitization is very convenient, but original documents have their own value too. We need to preserve both.
