In reply to Wyn Nathan Davis. Thanks Wyn for taking the time to leave a comment. Here's to paper and electronic co-habiting!

I love paper – the touch and the feel of quality paper. I always keep a handwritten journal and love to use quality pens.

That being said in my office i use very little paper. I find with smart phone, ipads, etc there is no need to carry files around.

I print less and less every month and actually have not used my printer once in 2013.

A paperless world will never happen but its use is changing.

I’m not quite sure if I’d like a completely paperless office, although I do find a lot of people print just for the sake of it!

In reply to Matt Lambert. Thanks Matt. Interesting comments and I like the reference to digital shrapnel. The first thing we tend to do when an idea comes to mind is to make a note of it on PAPER. So I for one will continue to push the medium although paper and electronic options can co-exist. Interestingly, I note your comment too on faxes making a come back I can personally vouch for that given the amount of marketing faxes our offices now receive!! People, customers like a physical piece of paper to read from!!

In reply to Andrea. Thanks Andrea for your comment. I am in agreement with you as my article stated we need a combination of both paperless and paper!

We’re a digital company, and have mixed feelings. There are times when digital ‘just works’ but other times where having the physical paper under people’s noses drives results. Branded things ‘hanging around’ the office are reminders to people – a real bonus for marketers in a crowded world of ‘digital shrapnel’ (my favourite current phrase).

So if the printed brochure should make a comeback, perhaps we should also go back to fax marketing, now that nobody else does it!

As an accountant, my office is certainly not paperless! I go through a huge amount of paper and shred everything once it is no longer required. Whilst I do e-mail some invoices and statements now, I still have to send out accounts and tax return in paper form for signing. I can’t see us ever having true paperless offices.
