Whether Delivering News, Mail, or Commerce, Atoms Are Losing the War Against Bits

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 04: Jerry Delakas's newsstand is viewed on April 4, 2012 in New York City. Delakas has been selling papers, magazines, lottery tickets and other items seven days a week for 25 years at the iconic New York location. Despite the license holder for the newsstand leaving it to him in her will, Delakas is being threatened with eviction by the Department of Consumer Affairs. The New york agency claims that he's not the legal license holder. The area around Astor Place at Lafayette Street, once the heart of bohemian New York, has slowly evolved into an area of banks and chain stores like Starbucks and The Gap. Critics of the city's threat to evict Delakas say that he represents some of the last traces of authentic New York. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

TO GO WITH AFP STORY A schoolgirl writes old-fashion with chalk on a blackboard while in class 07 December, 2007 in Villa Cardal, 80km from Montevideo. The sentences written on the board aim to explain basic concepts and advantages of the use of computers in education: "This new communication era opens the way to information", "But above all, don't forget that computers can't solve it all" and "It is a tool, a companion to make friends around the planet". The small 2,000 inhabitants village of Villa Cardal was chosen by its peculiar characteristics to host the first stage of the "Ceibal" (A native forest of 'ceibo' trees) project, consisting in assigning a specially designed laptop to each schoolboy to be used as a learning tool and to connect the young students of even remote places to the rest of the world.
