Re: 20 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade
But we are an IT company, so you would think we would attempt to buck the trend a bit.
We do have government clients though, so we are forced to hold back.

Re: 20 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade
We went "paperless" a few years ago. Funny but I see just as much paper around here than ever. Mostly from the old schoolers who can't operate unless they print everything to hold in their hands. There's something taboo to them about reading documents on a monitor I guess.

Re: 20 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade
I find it pretty hard to edit documents on the monitor if they are more than a page or so in length.
Plus, courts always have to have hard copies of documents with original signatures. I imagine that it will be a couple more decades until we are actually and truely entirely paperless. It may never happen 100%.

I second the love for texting, so convenient and unobtrusive, it's email on the go

Re: 20 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade
As to faxing, our office gets far more faxes than it used to. Now documents are printed on one end, signed, then the signed document scanned and pdf'd by email. I would say we get about ~25% of the faxes we got 2 years ago.

Meh, paper maps are still damn handy in the case of having no access to electricity or if you're like me and just love looking at maps.
