How many pilots are using technology

,

how many of us, pilots are using the current
technology out there to our benifit. I'm talking about GPS, E-Flight
Bag, E-Aviation Charts.

I would say, the vast majority.

How long do you think before paper-less
cockpits become the standard?

Remember the paperless office? Rephrase your question: How many people
are using computers in their office? Next question: When will the
paperless office come?

Paper has this really great user interface...

Paperless office does not mean absolutely no paper. It just means every
document is stored electronically, and we can print only what we need.
In that respect, I think we already have a paperless office. What
fraction of electronic documents do you think we normally print out? I
suspect it is around 10% or less. Imagine what would happen if we
printed all the data that is on every computer.

Maybe so, but there are ten times as many documents as there were,
mainly because it's so easy to generate them. And we print out the
silliest things, and we print out stuff because the software gives us no
choice (like TurboTax's "smart worksheets" - don't get me started), and
we print them out multple times to get them right, and we print
everything on full sheets of paper, no matter how big the document.

If you had electronic charts in the cockpit, how many of you would print
them out for the approach. I would.

I remember when we went to a paperless office, out paper bill went up 200%. And
the paper bill has gone up steadily each year since.
