re: paperless office is a myth
It's an exaggeration, as are many cliches, catch phrases, etc. It's of
course in reality *less* paper, not no paper. Think if everyone mailed in a
paper form to order a book from Amazon. What's a better two-word phrase to
describe this? "E-commerce" (yes, one word) doesn't quite immediately say
the same thing.
In fact, at many offices, it's more paper, not less. Computers allow the storage of more information than 25 years ago, and database reports allow greater manipulation of the data into new forms. Add a wish for backup, and some legal requirements, especially for public institutions or for accounting, and the paper piles up much faster than it used to.
