The Myth of the Paperless Office
For decades, people have predicted the
office of the future as a paperless office
documents generated, published and
distributed electronically
documents read electronically
What has happened to this
imminent revolution?

Integrating Paper and Digital Media
Complementary character of paper and digital
information
15
Time has only confirmed this early indication of paper’s importance
in the digital office. While other print technologies have come to
compete with it, laser printer sales have increased twelve-fold in the
past decade. If the digital office from PARC to the present is anything
to go by, bits and atoms, the digital and the material, don’t seem so
much in opposition as in tandem. Despite confident claims that their
only relationship is one of replacement and dismissal, the two look
much more like complementary resources.

Augmenting the Physical Space
Embedding computing functionality in everyday
objects instead of digitising the physical
environment
16
At breakfast Sal reads the news. She still prefers the paper form, as do
most people. She spots an interesting quote from a columnist in the
business section. She wipes her pen over the newspaper’s name, date,
section, and page number and then circles the quote. The pen sends a
message to the paper, which transmits the quote to her office.

Bridging the Paper-Digital Divide
Many projects focus on the input device, paper,
printing and other hardware technologies rather
than on the data integration and information
management aspects isolated solutions
The linking of paper tends to be based on
physical rather than logical concepts not easy
to change to another input device technology

Bridging the Paper-Digital Divide …
"The key to a highly integrated interactive paper
solution lies in the introduction of a platform for
general cross-media information management
introducing fundamental link concepts in
combination with other database functionality"
Support all possible types of links between
paper and digital media
