Abstract
Since before the time Gutenberg invented the printing press, centuries of jurisprudence have been devoted to and predicated upon paper-based systems of communication, particularly in the area of commercial law. With advances in technology and the implementation of electronic modes of communication in businesses and market places in general, however, the world has begun to move away from paper as the primary mode of communication and the primary method of doing business. This continues the process begun with the introduction of the telegram and the telephone, both of which contributed to the elimination of paper in the conduct of business negotiations.
