This may be stale news for some, but I’ve been very interested to read some thought-provoking material on the 43folder website about the value of paper-based work systems as compared with PC systems.

It’s particularly relevant to the frequent discussions here on software programs that assist creativity.

If you’re interested, start with The New Yorker article “The Social Life of Paper” at http://www.gladwell.com/2002/2002_03_25_a_paper.htm.

There is a discussion thread about the article (including some mind blowing personal systems) at http://209.162.194.61/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00008c&topic_id=1&topic=Ask+E%2eT%2e.

Fascinating stuff.

Jack
