I have an essay in ACM Ubiquity called Time to Get Serious about the Paperless Office, borne out of endless frustration with the communicative and legal aspects of paper. I think we are slowly getting into the situation where paper is the exception rather than the rule. As I stress in the essay, we will not get rid of paper until we get rid of it as metaphor.

I just can’t wait…

(And no, the picture you see here is not from my office, but from a company that apparently specializes in helping people tidy up….)
