Default How many pilots are using technology

It is an old joke, but the answer is that; 'we will see the paper-less

ISTM that computer usage has resulted in more paper and not less.


While it is true that computers have resulted in more, not less, paper
being used, a paper-less office is very possible (depending on the
business). One of the reasons computers initially generated more paper,
is because of the larger amount of data they could provide, and the fact
that few had the computers on their desk. Not to mention that the
monitors were small and very low resolution. Today a paper-less office
is not hard to achieve with a little effort. However, I wouldn't even
consider having a paper-less cockpit. I also wouldn't want a
computer-less cockpit either though.
