				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in the Northeastern U.S. it is snowing outside and I found myself starting my day browsing through the myriad of industry emails I watch regularly.  Now, I&#8217;ve blogged previously regarding my thoughts on the &#8220;paperless office&#8221; (<a href="http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/customapps/the-paperless-office-myth-or-real-possibility/">See &#8220;The &#8220;Paperless&#8221; Office &#8211;  Myth or Real Possibility</a>?).  But this morning I found the article &#8220;<a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&amp;articleId=9128737">Paperless office? Ha! How about a paperless life</a>?&#8221; &#8212; and of course I just had to check that out!</p>
<p>While mulling over the &#8220;&#8230;paperless life&#8230;&#8221; idea I recalled how yesterday while watching TV in the morning I was introduced to the term &#8220;<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4836762n">Data Rot</a>&#8221; in a CBS news story.  I&#8217;d never run into the term but I immediately could relate to the terminology, as well as the concept of data formats &#8220;going away&#8221;.  (I was enthralled with the &#8220;wire recorder&#8221; and &#8220;reel to reel&#8221; recorder when I was in my &#8216;tweens!). </p>
<p>Anyway, &#8220;Data Rot&#8221;, the &#8220;paperless office&#8221; and &#8220;paperless life&#8221; all are interesting topics, and looking back at what I&#8217;ve seen for changes in my life, I can&#8217;t help but wonder what our lives will look like in 2080?  One thing I&#8217;m sure of, however, death and taxes &#8211; not necessarily in that order!</p>
