The switch to non-paper, non-printed records must be accelerated, if anything. We must be able to forget the past and move forward.

Too many things in the past are inconvenient, unpleasant, ugly, and horrid. Many mistakes were made, even by right-thinking and well-intentioned people. It serves no purpose to those memories and regrets.

There are a lot of things that are best forgotten: The Holocaust, the Crusades, George Bush, The fall of the Soviet Union, et cetera.

If there must be a past, then change it into something better. Rewrite it and make all the bad things go away. It is very easy as long as everything is not printed.

Perhaps there might be a true record kept but it should not be made public, accessible to the masses. It will serve no good purpose for the masses to know the truth and inconvenient for the leadership. It will only serve to hinder progress with needless comparisons and deceptions.

Eliminate paper, keep everything on computers where anything can be kept hidden or changed as necessary to serve our enlightened leaders' purposes.

Actually, NOT! Keeping everything on computers is a really , really stupid idea.
