Review of: The Myth of the Paperless Office (A. Sellen, R. Harper)

3/5 (minimum 1)

by cygri on 07 Feb 2007

This book refutes all claims about the imminent death of paper. Paper has many properties that are important for everyday work and can't be easily replicated with digital technologies. Many efforts to “go paperless” are doomed from the start. The book is a good antidote to office technophilia and argues its case convincingly, but is written in a boring, rambling style with endless rehashes of the same basic points. Fifty pages worth of content spread out over two hundred sheets of dead tree.
