The City of Sydney Law Society offers a variety of profession-related seminars and events to their members. It was in this context that the Society’s president, Ken Harkness, invited Practice Evolve General Manager, Darren Kelly, to address the society on the recent advances in paperless office technology. Downtown Sydney is a shining example of corporate modernity. Gleaming edifaces stretch into the azure sky. Far below, wide boulevards are a perpetual bustle of suits and attache cases.Situated within this fabric of commerce are the law offices of E H Tebbutt and their impressive conference facility, where Darren made his presentation.

The Paper Problem

‘What is the problem with Paper?’ we may well ask. Paper has served humanity for millennia. It is so durable that we can study the writings of the ancients. It is so portable that we think nothing of bringing hundreds of pages to the beach. It is inexpensive, flexible, doesn't require batteries and it will not fragment into a zillion smithereens if dropped. None of these things can be said of most modern technology. Apart from anything else, it is quite nice to hold the foldy stuff in or hands.
