Reality is a strange thing.


  In theory all offices should be paperless - my desk is covered in the

bloody stuff.


  In theory people should be able to telework - I'm in Newfoundland because,

quite simply, for tight deadlines and close intergrated team work it's

simply not an option (despite AIM etc).


Don't beleive the hype. Technology is still mostly crap. I get more done by

a bunch of guys (and gals), a few bits of paper and lots of white boards

than with any ammount of spreadsheets, instant messaging and

teleconferencing.


Always have a healthy disrespect of all technology.


Cheers
