"Dead trees" works without power, at school or in areas where technology access is restricted (such as in school), and in areas where you don't have wifi or net access...

1's and 0's, not so much...

Course most kids, like my nephews, are ready to sit down and cry and don't know what to do with themselves if they lose access to their technology for more than 10 minutes nowdays... sad...
