What did roll film replace?
Roll film replaced camera-speed roll paper. George Eastman's original Kodak came to the user loaded with a roll of camera-speed paper (as opposed to enlarging-speed paper, camera-speed paper was usable to take pictures on). You shot the 100 images on the roll and sent the camera, along with one dollar, to the Kodak Labs in Rochester, New York. There they would develop the paper roll, strip the emulsion from it and bond it to a strip of celluloid for printing. What replaced glass plates was sheet film, for all uses except astronomy. Astronomers continued to use plates because they're more dimensionally stable than film, and they don't sag when you put them in a camera that's tilted back at a severe angle. - - - - - Roll film replaced individual photographic plates, which had already progressed from coated glass plates to emulsion-coated stock. Glass plates were still popular for their comparative clarity. This "film" had a light-sensitive material in a thin layer attached to cardboard, which was developed and transferred to glass for printing.

Can you put paper plates in the microwave?
Not safely, according to http://sneakykitchen.com/Ten_commandments/microwave_safety.htm "All paper products are manufactured with chemicals. Never use grocery bags, paper plates, newspapers, butcher's wrap or other paper items to heat food. The microwave can cause chemicals in these products to transfer into your food. Use white paper towels only if the label states they are microwave safe. Wax paper, parchment paper and oven cooking bags are safe to use. Don't overheat!" However, according to the USDA most paper plates should actually be safe to use http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FactSheets/Microwave_Ovens_and_Food_Safety/index.asp#11 "What containers and wraps are safe to use in the microwave oven?Only use cookware that is specially manufactured for use in the microwave oven. Glass, ceramic containers, and all plastics that are safe to use usually will be labeled for microwave oven use."SAFE TO USE: * Any utensil labeled for microwave use. * Heatproof glass (such as Pyrex, Anchor Hocking, etc.). * Glass-ceramic (such as Corning Ware). * Oven cooking bags. * Baskets (straw and wood) for quick warm-ups of rolls or bread. Line the basket with napkins to absorb moisture from food. * Most paper plates, towels, napkins and bags. For optimal safety use white, unprinted materials. * Wax paper, parchment paper, heavy plastic wrap. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food; vent it to allow a steam escape. * Heat-susceptor packaging. "
Are plastic or paper plates better for a party?
The answer to this question would all depend on your personal needs and priorities. I believe any effort to conserve natural resources (paper is made from wood) as much as possible is a good thing. On the other hand, cleaning non-paper products utilizes time and other resources (water) as well. I still prefer this because I feel my family at least reduces the amount of paper waste it puts out. The worst possible option, in my opinion, is styrofoam plates since they take eons to decompose once they're disposed. Certainly using ceramic or glass plates presents a more elegant or formal table. Generally my family uses these the most since I cook frequently at home, and a few more plates makes little or no difference in the amount of time or resources needed for cleaning up. We reserve the use of paper plates to only those occasions where the use of non-paper plates would be a waste of resources to clean them.
