Workaholics are generating way too much paper

Welcome all workaholics. There was a great comment this week from a visitor here who read my post about how Bill Gates of Microsoft envisioned the totally “paperless” office for everyone. He mentioned the “digital nervous” system concept and that we will all be connected through computers. No need for any type of paper…we can do all our communications, sales transactions, banking, business management, etc. through the almighty computer.

Well the fact is, since the book was published in 1999, we are deluged with more paper than ever before! True, we have more ways of doing business and communicating online, but there is no one who is truly paperless in operation. If so, we would have heard about it by now. Remember the “green movement?” Well, don’t you think that this idea, that was brewing for the past several years, has spawned small to large companies to start going to paperless? I have been keeping up with the high tech news, business news and major headline news and no where yet, have I come across the office making this ground breaking change.

I guess there is no money to be made from it!

Peace and Love,

Bruce
