More Paper for the "Computer Age"

Paper... we needed it for our Memos, our invoices, our communications,
our bills, you get the idea. The computer age was supposed to reduce
our dependency on paper; but what actually happened is an ever need
for MORE paper. This is why I like eBooks, I read what I hope to
like, and if I really like it... THEN I buy it.

Let me give you a real world example: You order product it arrives
with a paper invoice, you check to make sure you have everything then
verify it online. Once verified online you print off the verification
for your records in case the computer crashes.

We worry so much about the "computer crashing" that we print
everything off. And we still make a backup on either disk, dvd, or
jumpdrive. We almost have a trust/distrust relationship with
computers. We love them to do most of the work but hate to trust them
to keep our data safe. Below is a sample of my email signature:

I follow through with what I say by pointing out, in a subtle way,
that we don't need to print everything off. Why do we NEED to print
everything off, well I don't unless I have to. The only situation
where it is required is if I have to sign something. So even *I*
can't escape the need for paper.

Until next time...
