These are the kinds of folks I've seen drawn to paper of late:

• An insurance field agent relationship manager
• The director of worldwide engineering for a food and beverages company
• A mobile manager working in the health care industry
• An account director at a large advertising agency
• The owner of a high-end bath and kitchen cabinetry representative firm
• A senior manager at one of the largest CPA firms

Why are these folks devoted to paper again? Because it keeps them organized when all the electronic gizmos couldn't.

Also because...

• It's more real to them
• They can touch it
• It's been good to them
  
• They can crumple it up when they're finished with it
• They can tear it into pieces when they're frustrated
• They can access it without power or internet access
• It cuts down on their screen time
• The paper products have gotten better looking and funcitoning
  
• They have a long, loving relationship with paper
• It's cool again

How about you? Paper or plastic?
