Xiao Pan, many documents are now digitized, so we can view them on a computer.

That's very convenient. We don't have to search through paper documents, and we can quickly send them to other people.

Right. They also don't take up physical space and are relatively easy to store.

Does that mean we won't need paper documents anymore in the future?

Not necessarily. For some important documents, we still need to examine the originals.

Why? Aren't digital files the same?

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.

I see. When studying history, looking at the original documents can give us a clearer understanding.

Exactly. Digitization is very convenient, but original documents have their own value too. We need to preserve both.
