Shocker: Digital Files Easier To Find Than Paper

from the so-surprising dept

While it is true that the paperless office is something of a joke that doesn't mean there aren't advantages to digital copies of things. In what might be the most obvious study seen this week (it's actually scary how big the competition is for this award), a new study has found that it's easier to misfile paper than digital documents. This should be completely surprising to the three or four people in the world who have not yet discovered the ability to "search" on a computer.

  • Paperless Office

    by Rance

    I used to work for a large corporation that sold microfilm and document handling equipment. The vice president there when asked about the coming of the paperless office would say "I expect to see it the day after the arrival of the paperless bathroom."
