Paperless office

It will remains as a myth long as all the dealings of your supplier and customer are linked together via network and a uniform system to interact with and digital signing. Instead of papers people has to carry some small PDAs with wireless connectivity and authorized signing in. Can you think about it ? :) Just think about a school:- Office with full of computers for each staff, Computer in each class room and a digital wireless light pen board. Studends have their own laptops to write notes, Exams are conducted by loading a special software to their laptops or some other special computers set up for it :) and the student digitally sign with his unique ID and password. The teacher can evaluate exam papers by logging into her computer on the prescribed date and evaluate each students descriptive answers (objective already evaluated by computer :) ) and the mark will be saved and teacher digitally sign as evaluator of the papers. Each staff in charge of class can view the marks of each students and progress report can be viewed to each student on their system, and parents can see progress report and they digitally sign. :) When a Student join in school they can either directly fill their applications on the user terminals in school office or via internet :) Then an electronic card will be issued for each student as ID. Any purchase to the school is made through the customer who have all such paperless concept .. LOL :XD Any more imagination ? :xD

In my two offices, no matter how hard they try it is not successful implementing such. Weird. The thing is it's more of the way old people in the office think. I mean, they are so used to using papers and seeing papers within their reach. I am a bit frustrated though. :)
