Techopedia Explains Treeware
This term is often attributed to American author and online writer John Scalzi. While he didn’t coin the term, it was mentioned it in a 2005 blog post that discussed e-book piracy. In the context of the ongoing digital revolution, treeware persists, but may be losing ground to the digital formats that are becoming increasingly accessible thanks to mobile technology.
