"The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it.

The law says they are admissible, anything required to be in writing can be a data message, except for wills and the purchase of immovable property.”
In law, a contract is concluded when acceptance is received in the computer.
