The article reports on the use of paper in offices. Since the arrival of computers, the majority of the information management budget is spent on technology, while a large part of their information remains on paper. At the same time, businesses discovered that "going paperless" did not result in "instant organization" - and involved far more expense for hardware, software, and human resources that they ever dreamed. Although computers once promised people the paperless office, research predicts that by the end of 2005 there will be 50% more paper in offices than there was in 1995. INSET: The Art of Wastebasketry™.
