Paper Or Mouse-click? What's On Computers Is Easier To Find, Study Shows
As office workers pause for Labor Day and students prepare for school, a new study sheds harsh light on an item that gives both groups headaches -- paper.
(Okay, where'd I put that - oh, here it is.)

Interesting. I'd like to know how they studied that situation or did they just ask people?

I'd have said it was easier for me to find paper. Handling paper, walking, picking it up and putting the paper down are all physical acts and much easier for me to recreate than, "Gee, what file was I in when I did that and what name did I have for it?" :scratchhead:

I don't care what anyone says.
I can't find it if it's on paper, or on my puter. :scratchhead:

What do you want to bet this was an electronic survey? At the "information school", no less...

Biased much, are we? :roll:

Years ago there was a study on monosodium gultimate which claimed that contrary to popular opinion MSG did NOT cause headaches and other physical and emotional problems. The study was reported on in The Wall Street Journal. The last sentence of the story revealed the study had been conducted by "The Gultimate Institute of America." :dozy:

More recently a study revealed that even more people then previously believed would REQUIRE cholesterol reducing perscription drugs WITHOUT revealing that 70% of the doctors in the study were also paid consultants to drug companies that MANUFACTURE CHOLESTEROL REDUCING drugs. :spam:

Gee. What ko-ink-a-dinces!! :dozy:
