Is Paperless Office a Reality or Not?

As days are moving, the use of paper is diminishing. All the data are stored in the form of soft copy and everything is made automatic and PC's play an important role.

But we cant totally avoid the usage of paper. It has its own importance. Important business letters, Appointment letters, Resume etc need to be necessarily in paper form.

Thus, paper will not lose its value totally.

In my opinion paper has got its own importance and nothing can replace it, likewise robos are doing all the activities like men still the man is not accepting them because if that is the case human being will lose his importance, and everybody will become lazy. That will rule our universe. In the similar way even though for temporary purpose it may play a vital role but after some days the condition of the digital papers will also be like that.

1) More over the usage of that is not comfortable.

2) There is no security.

3) We cant distinguish among them.

One more important point here :.

People cant read from the computer. Like the difference between book and computer. When we read from book we feel very comfortable, but that is not possible with the computer. And people wont have that much patience to sit in front of computer and read from it.

Paperless office is like a house without any persons existence therein.The progress of development of computers and other technologies has be so rapid that paperless office is almost becoming a reality.A few years ago competitive exam applications were sent through post.But now we can apply through internet. In some countries classroom study has turned into doing classes from home for example in australia.Although huge development in technologies need of little bit of paperwork is must.For example while taking any competitive exam admit cards should be carried with for getting admitted to exam hall.Likewise there are many other places were paper work is must.Finally paperless office is not a tortal reality but partially it is real.

Yes Paper less office cannot be the reality as how advance we become we would require parer some where some time.
Be it a certification, legal documents or some books.

we can surely reduce the use of paper but cannot curb it.

We can't imagine a office without paper. Yes we can reduce the papers by the use of computers by keeping soft copies of some documents and records but still there is importance of hard copies instead of soft copies in some areas where Approved Authority and Issued Authority signature is must required. So in this discussion forum we can say paper work in office can be reduced bot can't be fully avoided.

see its easier to say regarding jobs widout ppr or paperless office.well d currrency notes wch we use in daily life in offices too r thus paper only.t bonds.doc.restored fr future.t certifates shoed at d tym of interwies n appointments r via paper only.n 1 cant show dese in front of panel wid the help of laptops n palmtops.so i think it is essential fr t society.

i agree with u shishir..the paper less office could be actualy termed as an office where paper size and numbers are reducing day by day because of computers but we can't say that the papers are not finding any corners in office as in many ways we can't just leave the application based on papers as it's not at all complicated to do some task over it and computer illiterate can't do task's on computers and in-spite of the fact that the person is intelligent that many other persons.so paper again come to the rescue of that kind of man.

Actually, paperless office is not a reality but it is in improvement stage. We need paper in educational system, offices, etc. If office will become paper less then many people will become jobless for eg. Postman who carries and delivers the letter and other things. Many printers will become waste.

There are many threat exist in internet world hence we can't rely for transmission of secure data and the people who don't have computer or digital devices, they need data which is printed on paper.

In the era of global warming we have to use our resources properly. Hence the need for minimum use of paper and their by saving the trees and the environment. If we organise computer storage properly it will be very much easier to retrieve document when need arise. The adage 'Think before you print' should always be remembered.

Though the topic sounds bit cool but it is not that easy to apply this thought in real. I think no matter how much progress we have made or are making or will make we need the paper in some specific areas. If we consider the educational bodies, there we find that paper is really needed to provide the students with all of their certificates and results which are ultimately needed to earn a job for him in this digital world.

For the case of publication industries, though we are in the era of e-books and digital magazines but still one can not deny the real charm of reading a printed books. At the end if we are really concerned about the environment then I think it is better to increase the no of trees rather than to cut our needs because whatever we will do we need the natural resources in form or another.
