Think about all the paperwork you’ve handled in your office so far this year. How many of them have Social Security Numbers on them? Employee Identification Numbers? Other types of confidential and private information?

Despite all the buzz surrounding ‘paperless offices’ and their digital filing systems, paper isn’t going anywhere. No matter how far technology takes us, the advantages of paper in the office are valuable enough that it cannot be replaced with anything digital.
