Reminds me of the "paperless office" concept in the '80's.

LOL! I was just talking about this the other day. Being in computer science, people sometimes ask me when that paperless office is coming. The truth is that computers didn't reduce the paper in the office; they made it possible to print more paper, faster, than ever before.

Ha...very true. I'm in my 20s and have grown up with computers, and sit in front of one for 12 hours a day. Yet when I'm writing a brief or doing research, I still print constantly. There's nothing like having it all in front of you with the ability to make a quick note. Perhaps when 40" widescreen touch-sensitive desktop displays are more affordable, I'll be paperless.
