'Paperless office' evolves with paper, but less of it
Article Abstract:
The vision of the 'paperless office' is giving way to one of offices with less paper. The expectation of business planners that electronic mail systems and computerized information storage and retrieval would replace paper files and lead the move toward office automation is being modified. Instead, managers realize that the expanding use of computers actually means increasing the use of paper, especially as printer quality improves. The newer vision for office automation focuses on the use of electronic media for long-term archiving and for data that is updated frequently. These uses and others are augmented by improved screen resolution, local area networks and high density storage devices such as compact disks. Paper is still useful for medium length reports, for example, and thus document processing and management systems are gaining popularity while prices are decreasing.
