> For example, it was found that office workers actively build up different kinds of paper arrangements on or near their office desks, reminding them of different matters and preparing them for specific tasks. Computers do not reproduce this kind of physical accumulation. Information exchange, for example in meetings, is another common office practice in which paper is used. Actions performed in relation to paper are, to a large extent, made visible to one’s colleagues, facilitating social interaction. When using a laptop, it’s impossible to know what other people in a meeting are looking at. — https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2016/11/why-the-office-needs-a-typewriter-revolution/ Paper physicality is extremely important, because a screen has no tangibility, priority, visibility. A piece of paper sits there and waits, its mere existence structuring your work. Going full digital is a mistake.
