[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you all still work on paper?  I do all my work electronically and it works perfectly.  Are you that annoying old lady that wants me to needlessly print 300 pages?[/quote]

Yes - when I need to.  When I need to get something right.  Work and reading on a computer texts to be sloppier - for me at elast but I imagine for many.

When I want to really learn something and needs to focus/concentrate on it - I will learn it better in print because spacial mempory comes into play.  There is emerging research from the London School (which tends to be pro-tchnology) about how people read more superfically when they read digital formats. They less likely to make new connections, more likely to focus on the material with which they that are already familiar rather than the new stuff.  I know I rememebr much less of what I read online and much more of what I read in print (and I forget most of what I hear in a books on tape though I was listening to every word).

I don't often need to read (really read, not skim) 300 pages and neither do you, so, no, lets not needlessly print a 300 page document.[/quote]
