As with the curiously symbiotic relationship between a pencil and an audio cassette, would future generations wonder about how the toilet paper (if not bathroom-mug or jet-stream) was once the obvious thing to hold, after a newspaper — in the life of billions across the globe?

Writing this, because of all things I'm desperately missing that morning ritual the most, ever since the country-wide, Corona lockdown. Do you reckon, say 30 to 40 years later, kids might ask, "What's a newspaper?" In the same way they wonder, what the hell's an audio cassette! Hard to predict, given physical books on the rebound continue to vastly outsell e-books still.
