Read Bill Gate's Business at the Speed of Thought. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Holly Kruse Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 12:45 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] effect of Internet on paper consumption? A little late, but Malcolm Gladwell's _New Yorker_ review essay centered around (but not confined to) Sellen and Harper's _Myth of the Paperless Office_ is also excellent, and gets at issues of paper consumption: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2002/03/25/020325crbo_books The Sellen and Harper book itself is also excellent, as someone else noted. The Gladwell essay points to some of the key reasons why decreasing paper consumption even with computers and the internet, which hypothetically could result in less paper use, is difficult because of the affordances of paper.
