Welcome to my website! These pages provide a discussion of the paperless technologies set to change our world.
|
Rapid developments in technological capabilities continue to surprise us, providing ever faster and more efficient means of information dissemination. Many of the processes carried out today on paper could be replaced with neater, cleaner greener digital versions.
The following pages provide information on some of the most recent paperless technologies, which I believe will be everyday aspects of our future society. However, they include both advantages and disadvantages, in order to demonstrate that while these technologies may find suitable applications in modern society, none can entirely fulfil the numerous uses of paper.

Epaper

Scanners

Almost every home and office environment has a scanner. But in what ways could these everyday machines change the ways we think about paper and storage? |
Medical offices

Work environments dealing with huge amounts of information could be revolutionised by paperless technologies. This page provides some of these alternatives, with particular relevance to medical offices. |
