I was told many years ago that having computers would create a paperless office.  Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact we seem to have even more paper lying around the place than we did before the advent of the desktop computer. We humans are still distrusting of that grey box sitting at the corner of our desks, printing off every email and important document, just incase the hard drive sneezes and looses every single document you’ve been working on since the year dot.

I always laugh now when a young kid mentions the words “paperless office”. Paper in one form or another will be around for many years to come. Even when the trees are long gone, the boffins will come up with synthetic paper like they did with synthetic fibres many moons ago.
