| From Professor Jim Lengel,
Boston University: Perhaps
you've seen those ads on television. Offices and classrooms filled
with geometrically-shaped desks and chairs out of a sci-fi movie.
Walls made of windows that look out on the galaxy. And the people
working in them producing dazzling projects and reports full of
colorful pictures, charts, and graphs that look like they were
put together by a team of designers rather than just by a single
business person or everyday student. Of course, there are lots
of computers involved. But all these ads have something else in
common-you NEVER see a slip of paper until the final project shows
up. Not a scrap of paper laying out on a desk or even a wastepaper
basket is in evidence anywhere. These people seem to find everything
they need online, in their computer-and in their heads. They make
it look so easy to produce a paperless paper. |
