While watching an episode of House MD (great show btw!), there was a seen in a lawyers office, and i noticed the wall full of identical books that is so common in  TV lawyer offices!

It made me think that this may soon become a thing of the past. I presume the books are primarily used for reference, and therefore are somewhat a waste of space when the data is probably readily available online, and could be stored on one DVD rather than wasting a small tree worth of paper and taking up a wall of someone’s office!
