i often think we are using more paper now than ever. Jim Singleton
More and more these days, I wish people would email you things as PDFs or similar so I could open it up on my computer (or perhaps smartphone).. I feel like it would be easier to have scanned/digital copies of documents.
I bought a new car a few years ago, and I scanned all the paperwork into a PDF so I can look at it more easily if I need to, and that has been useful a couple times.
Recently I've been looking for work, as I was laid off in September. I've been attending a weekly job search networking group (they have various topics each week), and the person who organizes it sometimes gives printed handouts. She has most of our email addresses though, since it's possible to pre-register for it, and she does send job postings via PDF; I think it would be useful if the paper handouts she has were instead emailed as PDFs. I imagine she probably prints them off from some electronic source anyway; they could probably be easily saved as a PDF to be sent out via email.
