I like cash and fax machines. But floppy disks need to be retired. And paper filing is incredibly slow compared to digital databases.
Paper filing is good, digital filing with proper backups is good.
At my job for a staff evaluation I have to fill out a paper checklist, scan it, then enter the information digitally, then print the digital one and file it in the employees file with the original checklist and then upload a pdf of the paper checklist AND the digital one...
Instead of just having the evaluation portal open on a tablet and doing it ONE TIME with a good backup system.
Yes, I agree it's good to have a backup system.
[edit] I mean having a paper filing system as backup.
I could just print out the digital version and archive that or submit the digital and file the paper checklist.
I dont need a digital copy of the paper and a paper copy of the digital at the same time. Especially when they get filed/archived together.
Fair point.
