New Terms for The Paperless Office
Okay, just a little humor as professionals start to really dig into the tax season.
Despite the ongoing movement by tax and accounting practices toward paperless processes as a part of modern workflow, print is, of course, still ocassionally necessary. So, let’s try a couple of new terms when referring to the occasional paper functions that professionals still must deal with.
Instead of “Printing,” the new term is “Exporting to Tactile Format.”
Instead of “Scanning,” how about “Importing from Tactile Format.”
Yes, I’m kidding. But in the jargon-filled world of technology, sometimes it’s good to have a little fun with that jargon.
A few more paperless terms
Handwriting - writing messages and phone #s on your hand as there are no message pads
Throw out - no longer used in the office, term stays on the baseball field only
Trash Can - no longer used for paper scrap, now a plant holder
Ink - a declining industry
File cabinets - available on eBay in large volume
