An examination of why paper continues to fill our offices and a proposal for better coordination of the paper and digital worlds.

Over the past thirty years, many people have proclaimed the imminent arrival of the paperless office. Yet even the World Wide Web, which allows almost any computer to read and display another computer's documents, has increased the amount of printing done. The use of e-mail in an organization causes an average 40 percent increase in paper consumption. In The Myth of the Paperless Office, Abigail Sellen and Richard Harper use the study of paper as a way to understand the work that people do and the reasons they do it the way they do. Using the tools of ethnography and cognitive psychology, they look at paper use from the level of the individual up to that of organizational culture.

Central to Sellen and Harper's investigation is the concept of "affordances"—the activities that an object allows, or affords. The physical properties of paper (its being thin, light, porous, opaque, and flexible) afford the human actions of grasping, carrying, folding, writing, and so on. The concept of affordance allows them to compare the affordances of paper with those of existing digital devices. They can then ask what kinds of devices or systems would make new kinds of activities possible or better support current activities. The authors argue that paper will continue to play an important role in office life. Rather than pursue the ideal of the paperless office, we should work toward a future in which paper and electronic document tools work in concert and organizational processes make optimal use of both.

If you know you know
Color: Black+Red, Size: For iPad A16 11th/10th Generation (11.0/10.9 Inch)
It was a little difficult to get to open but I didn’t see there was a device other it to open the protector. It’s pretty light and easy to travel with. It’s has a good grip feel so it can’t just slide off your kids hands. You know how many times I had to look for one of these covers that’s not an expensive ottor man case or whatever it’s called. It works how it’s suppose to I suppose. Functions pretty well not gonna lie. So if you’re looking for something with the right price this is it. Perfect fit in the ya let and hands ease of installation was 8/10.

It’s Okay but could be better
Color: Black+Red, Size: For iPad A16 11th/10th Generation (11.0/10.9 Inch)
My son loves this case, he drops it regularly and it protects it. I just have one issue, the stands are a bit unstable and they strain easily.

I purchased this case for my 7 year old grandson. I wanted durability and thats exactly what I got with this IPad case! Love the fact that it has a stand helps those little hands stay free, less chances of dropping it. Definitely recommend!
