The 1960's Utopia is starting, the 'Paperless Office'

The 1960’s Utopia is starting, the Paperless Office is here.

Back in the 1960’s we were all confident that the ‘Paperless Office’ was here or only just round the corner.

Finally, according to a report in "The Economist," dated 11th October 2008, we are getting there and the evidence is based on US paper usage reducing from a peak of nearly 150lbs per white-collar worker in 2000 to just about 125lbs forecast for 2008.

“The explanation seems to be sociological rather than technological, in that a new generation of workers, who have grown up with email, word-processing and the internet, feel less need to print documents than their older colleagues did.”

That’s the stage today, and the next act is dependent on it, as you can’t participate in Web 3.0 unless you are paperless.

Web 3.0 uses technology which is around today, so that with a laptop, a 3G dongle to give you broadband access virtually anywhere in the UK, a VoIP telephone system and an internet-based corporate management system to keep your data in and shared with your colleagues, you can operate as if you are in your office anywhere, anytime.

That’s exactly what Yoolaa was set up to provide – Your Office On Line Anywhere Anytime.
