The paperless office?
for "52 in 2017" group - Week #1 Reflection/s
I've chosen a subject I've been thinking about for a while - 'the paperless office'. So I decided to 'reflect' on the subject ....
It's been 20 years since I first dipped a toe into the world of computers. And the quest for the paperless office (be it work or home office) has been a 'holy grail' ... the magic that computers will do to transform our lives. We can save the world's forests too! But somehow it never actually arrives. And as I look at my mix of paper and computer I wonder if we will ever really abandon paper?
Personally I am old enough to have learned my handwriting skills with dip-in pens, and I will never abandon my fountain pens! I love the feel of pen and ink on paper - paper is so easy to grab and make a quick note - and Post-It notes adorn my computer monitor. BUT - we keep our house journal on the computer - I have a large store of e-books on my Kindle. My only magazine subscription is a download to my iPad. And I even do jigsaws on my iPad. And of course Photoshop is on my laptop! So it is a real mix!
I took a small sample of things I use every day and shot them on mirror tiles. There's a gold iPad at the bottom of the pile - a Filofax Flex notebook with all my ideas and daily Photo-related progress - a green notebook where I collect quotes and images - and a small ring-binder notebook for ToDo lists and things to remember. It does reflect my split personality, I guess! It may be 20 years on - but the Jury is still out ;o)
