Paperless Office
So, working for DISA, the information systems folks for the military, we send many documents around for review to various bosses (I've got 8 bosses, Bob - Office Space).
These documents are 40 pages and longer, and we print them out single-sided and hustle them around via sneakernet throught this 5-acre compound. After we print a couple copies for different folks to review, we make more copies of the changes and then of the changes to the revisions to the updates ad nauseum.
Why aren't we sending this by email? Because "it's easier to mark it up on paper" they say. And these are the IS masters for DOD? Hi, I'm a revision mark and comment in Word...
