Remember the promise of the paperless office? Anyone in front of a monitor can testify to just the opposite having taken hold. Personal computer was supposed to have freed us from the sea of paperwork washing over our desks every day.
Those of us who work from Office and home are not protected—are at times worse, letting paper stack up in every corner. And even as technology aims for the paperless ideal, that still can only be part of the solution.

Paper will likely always be with us. Similar to radio or television, it will find a way to hold its value. Currently, paper is much more conducive to sketching ideas and to working out processes than is a blank word processing document. Paper is cheap and recyclable. It has no learning curve. The key to the future of the digital home office is not so much a paper-free environment but rather one that is less paper-dependent.
As we say
Only after the last tree has been made into lumberOnly after the last fish has been caughtOnly after the last river has gone dryOnly then will you understandthat money cannot be eaten
