The Guardian, 26 November, 2001

4.0 out of 5 stars The paperless office will never come, 31 Aug 2003
By Jan Erik Frantsvåg "janeriks" (Tromsø, Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Myth of the Paperless Office (Hardcover)
In this slim volume Sellen and Harper analyses what functions paper have in modern offices, and how digital media functions differently from paper - making paper a useful tool if it's properties are understood properly. They rely heavily on the concept of "affordance", meaning that the physical properties of an object gives it functional qualities that offers different opportunities in different situations.

An important book giving me - at least - new insights into how paper can collaborate with other media to make the office function better.
