The idea of the paperless office and, for that matter, the paperless life, was established some 30 years ago when the first PC was introduced. Yet, the tools and processes to actually achieve such a thing have been a little slower to make it to mainstream. Sure, paperless bill pay, online newspapers and magazines and even tools like the Kindle have made it easy to transition much of what we do with paper to a digital format. But, access to information?

South Valley phone outage: Is telecom system too vulnerable?

By Elise Ackerman - Mercury News: 04/09/2009 -- It took severing just four cables, each about an inch thick, to bring down huge portions of a telecommunications network across three counties. And even as communications were being restored Thursday, hard questions emerged about whether the system is too vulnerable to sabotage — and how to prevent it from happening again. "Some of the questions that come up are whether the system has adequate backup capabilities and whether or not the phone companies are adequately protecting and maintaining the equipment they do have," said Mindy Spatt, spokeswoman for The Utility Reform Network, a consumer watchdog group in San Francisco.
