Did you know that the modern business man or woman doesn’t need to work at the office? I mean, if they really want to, they’re welcome to. It’s nice to work with people every day. To chat in the lunch room about sports and your favorite TV show. But ultimately, the office has become an option rather than a necessity.

The reason is that we now have technologies that are bringing the entire world together, even though the distances between us remain the same. Two co-workers can communicate totally by email, email fax, and phone. It’s not uncommon for a manager to have his or her entire team working in other states, and even other countries.

Some companies worry that if they allow these kinds of long distance working relationships to occur that they’re productivity will go down. They think that they need to keep everyone together. They think that they need to require strict schedules and dress codes in order to keep everyone working hard.

But the best and brightest work places of the future will be completely results driven. No one’s going to watching your time card. You simply get the job done, keep your job, or your business will move on without you.

This might seem cutthroat but it’s the only option in a world that is growing increasingly free, small, and competitive.

You were shocked by that title, weren’t you? Yes. It’s true. Internet fax saves the lives . . . of trees. I know that’s less exciting. But trees play an important part in our world’s ecosystem. They provide the world with oxygen; You remember learning about photosynthesis in elementary school. The fact of the matter is that we’d all DIE without trees. And trees are dying. You can do the math.

Given the growing incidence of offices, cubicles, and people with the word “manager’ in their title, the world was on the brink of disaster several years ago due to the mass murdering of trees to send memos and faxes to one another.

Faxes were the worst offender. Not only did you have to print up the copy of the document on your end, but you also required your recipient to print a copy on their end. It was double the paper for one purpose. Trees mourned at this growing insurgency against their noble and long respected race.

Fortunately, the holocaust would be brought to light. The movement to save the world is now commonly known as Internet fax. Now we no longer must destroy innocent trees to send a copy of our driver’s license to the DMV.

This might seem unimportant to those of you dreaming of living in the desert. But trees are sleeping well at night knowing that the world has accepted a paperless office.
