Surely you mean rich countries where people can afford to waste paper
and ink like there's no tomorrow! ;-)

Jokes apart, there are "intermediate" technologies that just get skipped
in developing countries.  For examples, Nepal is jumping from analogue
phones to ADSL without going through the ISDN nonsense that plagued
Europe for many years.

Will developing countries be lucky enough to skip MS Word and PDF too
and go directly to HTML and Wiki?
