We replaced paper and books with word docs of google docs, pictures with the digital photos and online photo organizers (www.picasa.com), CD music with itunes and online music libraries (www.grooveshark.com), videos with youtube or www.megaupload.com, storage and organization moved also online with the help of cloud computing (www.dropbox.com) . As a matter of fact the is an entire eco movement fighting for using digital reading devices and resume as much as possible the use of paper. | |||

Sims 2 player could participate by designing an H&M-inspired outfit using the game's design tool and uploading it to TheSims2.com Exchange. The winning outfit has been made available for purchase in nearly 1,000 H&M retail locations in the US, the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong and China for USD 14.90. <br> <br> | |||
