Twenty years ago when the personal computer hit the business world, experts predicted the
advent of the paperless office. But time has proved them wrong. Offices have more paper
than ever. People can easily print out a personal copy of a document for anyone who needs
to see it. Programs such as spelling and grammar checkers, as well as improved computer
graphics, have led people to expect perfection in their documents, and to keep printing
copies until they get it. The simply truth is that most people simply prefer paper. Scientific
studies have shown that paper copies are easier for people to read and to edit than is text on
screen. And many people are still nervous about documents being accidentally deleted
from a computer – if not through their own fault, through a computer system failure or a
power outage. In short, although office paper may be significantly reduced, the paperless
office is unlikely to become a realty.
