The Myth of the Paperless Office
For decades, people have predicted the
office of the future as a paperless office

At breakfast Sal reads the news. She still prefers the paper form, as do
most people. She spots an interesting quote from a columnist in the
business section. She wipes her pen over the newspaper’s name, date,
section, and page number and then circles the quote. The pen sends a
message to the paper, which transmits the quote to her office.
