I have used paper like we all have to write notes on and keep as documents and so on for as long as I can remember. We all have. It’s the way we grew up. And it’s unlikely we’ll ever truly stop using paper as a document source. But it’s the digital age now and we can use computers and digital storage devices more easily than ever.
We’ve had floppy disks for years then we moved to CD and DVD and USB jump drives or memory sticks. All are storage devices but the easiest used and most versatile is the jump drive. They can store tons of info on them and transfer it faster than CD’s or DVD’s. Information can be added or removed with ease with no burning time like on a CD or DVD. This makes file sorting easy and there is less risk of losing “paperwork”. Files are only a drag and drop away.
By using digital storage devices like jump drives there is less and less need for paper in our daily lives. Sure it won’t likely eliminate the use of paper completely (at least not for some time) but we can eliminate clutter and filing cabinets more and more. We can scan documents and keep them on file in a computer for when we need them and find them quicker than in a filing cabinet. After you’re done scanning important documents into your computer you can just recycle all of the original paperwork and have more free space and less clutter around home or work.
Not everyone is good with computers but it isn’t that hard to learn the basics. Computers are a regular household appliance these days like a stove, clock, or television plus they’re cheap enough these days that almost anyone can get one. So why not use a computer to store all your information on. It can reduce the amount of paper we use (or need) and you don’t need some bulky storage cabinet around for your bills and things. It’s a good way to stay green and clean around the house. Plus you can get cool jump drives in all sorts of designs like this cool Transformer one ine the picture. Pretty awesome!
