There is a fiber-optic cable carrying a lot of information between Hiro's computer & the rest of the world. In order to transmit the same amount of info on paper, they'd need a 747 cargo freighter packed w/phonebooks & encyclopedias to power-dive into their unit every 2 minutes forever.

www.nytimes.com/2024/11/23/b... NYT reporting on the Vanity Fair piece on McCarthy/Britt. Complex and we’ll never know. Writers pull pieces of this and that to compose a story. It’s an amalgamation.
