Contrary Views

I did a review of a product recently. I liked the product and said so in the review. The product is good. It helps you manage physical as well as computer files in a really very efficient way. You should be able to find the piece of paper you wanted, very easily. That usually is the problem we all face everyday.

While thinking about it, I realized , a contrary view also is possible. One of the ways things are changing is a trend to have everything in the computer including information that is on paper today. The thinking is to get these scanned and manage every bit of document via the computer. If that approach is valid, then the view held by the product that we may be dealing with a mix of electronic and physical documents cannot be a very valid approach. It may actually be following the scanning approach.

Which is the right view! I guess, if we are worrying about now then the approach taken by the product under review is valid but soon enough it may be the next approach which ought to be taken. The basic issue really is where exactly we are. Are we into that all electronic future yet! Only time will tell, I guess!!!
