    I think the more appropriate term is 'Less Paper Office".

    Sure, clients feel comfortable sending an email instead of a letter, and I'll send a pdf before I send a fax or give the boss a print-out.

    But the paperless office idea just doesn't work. I still have mounds of paper on my desk every week. Either schedules, think-pads, stickynotes... I recycle and pretend I'm doing my part.

    Not much beats the old fashion 'pen-on-paper' technique of brainstorming design ideas or scribbling down a phone-number. Although all these CAN be done in the electronic world, I doubt that enough drone-minded people could or would succumb to the paperless office environment.
