Paper & Tech Advancement
I'm pretty sure I've made a piece of paper once, just to see what could be done with it. And it was pretty underwhelming. And I'm not the type to pick up other people's random jottings unless they are cluttering up my intended work space. So in my little world, paper isn't doing much for me.
What would make me suddenly craft paper products and read them? If they were blueprints and reference books! I think certain crafts should require you to have picked up and read the appropriate blueprint, and that certain professions could be collected into a reference book to make reading multiple blueprints easier (and more organized.)
And not to leave the budding authors out, give them a novel, which is just an organized collection of their pages .

Re: Paper & Tech Advancement
Their is some obscure tech that involves paper.
Radios: Aren't very common but can be used as a translation machine.
Photo paper: Not useful practicaly but fun sometimes
Playing cards: From a craptastic filler update tnat added gambling.
You could play cards with someone but you have no reason to.

Re: Paper & Tech Advancement
Bob is correct. I think it's worthwhile to point out that the amount of paper you need for a radio isn't small either. It's like a dozen or so pieces of paper or something.

Re: Paper & Tech Advancement
It appears we have had parallel thoughts Futurebird.
I'm simply trying to state that the alphabet and writing are huge aspects to the advancement of civilization. And a deepening of its depiction in the game opens up a wealth of possible game mechanics. Definitely not a one week update proposition, but a worthwhile long term update goal.
