New Technologies Will Displace Stationery In The Future?

We live during technological progress. The development of the Internet and general computerization are replacing office supplies. All firms provide their employees with computers. They establish various programs and conduct electronic reports. Students of elite higher educational institutions go to lectures with laptops. Journalists no longer interview using a sheet of paper and a pencil.
Modern technologies simplify life and improve the work of representatives of various specialties. Engineers can draw not on paper, but in special programs, estimates and representatives of other construction specialties makes calculations using a construction calculator and many other programs. Automation of work that was previously done manually, wasting unnecessary time, and effort is displayed positively on the work of the entire firm.
Information technology also plays an important role in everyone's life. It is much easier to find information using search engines than to go to the library and notation or to outline some of the material. Thanks to them, it is possible to find answers to many questions from the most diverse branches of knowledge.
At first glance stationery does not have a place among all this. But, let's take a closer look. Almost all firms invite to work office manager. In addition to other duties, his task is to ensure that delivery of stationery is on time. Yes, employees work on computers, but you can apply for a request for transfer to an inadequate working day or for dismissal only on a piece of paper by writing it manually. Signing different contracts and signing contracts is also accepted on paper. Each employee will need a notebook and a pen to record important information received from the client. Stationery plays one of the leading roles in the life of the office.
Schools and other educational institutions. A separate topic. Yes, in each of them there are computer classes, but also all the students and working there need office supplies. Teachers carefully check notebooks with independent, creative tasks or simply with homework. In the lessons of geometry, children draw something under something, they smear something in case of an unsuccessfully depicted figure or its element. Before the beginning of the year parents of schoolchildren purchase stationery in large volumes. Although, in the process of studying, they have more than once had to visit stationery stores, in order to buy various trifles.
It is best to be a wholesale buyer. For them, discounts and bonuses are provided, although it is not so easy to calculate everything in advance. Most often, both schoolchildren and teachers are retail buyers, but enterprises and firms buy everything in bulk. The real boom is formed in the end of August, then everyone is in a hurry to prepare for study and intellectual work, although at other times stationery find their customers.
From all this you can easily draw the conclusion that the relevance of office supplies will not fade away in the near future and regardless of automation and computerization they keep pace with their time.
