When I began my career in 1978 I worked for one of the then Big Three
word processor companies (AES Data, Canada's answer to Wang and IBM)

be obsolete.
When I wrapped up my full time career in 2010 I worked in the Toronto
office of a San Francisco wireless firm (Soma Networking) and was
located not far from a big honking multi copier/printer (possibly a
Ricoh) that churned out documents all the time. This despite that all
meetings featured a table full of laptops and tablets.
"Paperless office". Pffft. :-)
At least once a week I get something in the mail from someone wanting me to
switch to "paperless" record keeping. They can forget it.
If I need to get rid of the paper I have a good shredder. Until it's time to
shred them, I've got records of my transactions.
PS: I can make pulp from the shredded bills & form them into bricks or logs that
after drying burn quite nicely in my woodstove.
