Paperless Special Click

by a police officer who was close Time for Click.

OK, where is my arm? Where does This week, we owe on a mission to

use pixels instead of print outs. The next generation of flexible

displays that could send the end of glossy magazines. Why do we still

have any way? The answer might be in the national archives. How much

of a lives can we put in the digital domain?

Welcome to Click and welcome to Cambridge. This is Trinity College,

which houses almost 300,000 volumes in its library. Perhaps it is at a

lake at Cambridge could soon be at the forefront of the paperless

revolution. But why has this not happened yet? You would think 1,000

years of a would look bigger. This over to the Government to building

its up was London house the National Archives. Britain's

winding Cabinet. It is one of the largest archives in the world.

Inside, 180 kilometres of shop space and 11 million records. Most

original documents. Less than 8% of here hives being due to ties to --

digitised. We work out what it would cost not just to reduce the

amount of April we work and use it every day and it came to 215 �9

million. We have nowhere near that amount of money. Neither does the

private sector. There is enough of an appetite for

online consumption for private companies to put some of the bill.

In the basement, he was there she lists give fragile sheets they make

over to get ready for their close up. Millions of pages I scanned

into the system one at a time. It takes one Alex's gang in a whole

book. -- one Allah sees down in a whole book. Whit paper, what you

see is what you get. But a fire or a computer has a digital date

attached. We have got to create met to date. Him, what, where and when.

It is more than scamming. If you scan a document, that is just a

photograph. You cannot search for it. We have got to take at Sandown

and create a digital object. matter how rich that they did, up

until recently, Peter has been seen as more authentic and add it to

make records. The concert of evidence to what it was down to how

the libel court thinks it document its. If you have he document that

he's the kind verses a document that is signed and witnessed by

that party. The second document would have more evidential weight.

It someone sends him I'll -- and e- mail saying they accept, that would

have best evidential weight than a signed document. You may be

disclosing were inadvertently in an electronic document. There may be

previous copies. An electronic history to document. For those who

are prepared to vote be simple signature, electronic signature

companies popped up over recent years. This one holds 60% of the

market. Companies can do if I knew I hear you saying you are by

contacting you in person. You can choose your own reward for one on a

tablet device. A few years ago, people were not aware of it. On May

automated in most businesses. have still got to wait for

companies to what seemed to an e- signature surface. Current laws to

allow full sun and it to make interactions but they are asked to

run the under way is to pay for it. Here is this idea that the law

requires hard copies of a rigging. For example, caught at the end it

to the attention of documents... Disclosure documents. There are so

to exceptions such as could dealing with land or wills. Eagle is a

clear as to what you can do that bit when it week. Potentially you

can but there are no cases on that wood. It will be another there are

two years before paper stocks come into the system. They had made

arrangements accordingly. The oxygen level can be turned down,

there are better preservation issues. It should be permanent.

From its it, possibly, but there is no ideal way to keep digital

archives-. Until there is a truly reliable way to support a to

securely, at least for the next few decades, our precious paper passed

will be filling the shelves. Could this display the what wind

and sea paper off? Owners of any Windows operating

system will be able to upgrade to the best version of Windows 8 for

only $40 or the equivalent in local currency. This makes its

Microsoft's cheek as upgrade since Windows Millennium, which was best

forgotten. The cost is in line with Apple, who also have a receipt of

history of offering cheap upgrades. The buyer of its browser is to form

the basis of a new mobile operating system to compete with Apple and

Google. Ms sealer has teamed up with various partners and make it

operators to create know to be afraid handsets, the first of which

will be available in Brazil the next year. Apps will be based on

HTML 5. Reports that Apple is planning to build on the success of

introduced a seven inch tart it well under $200. Two years later

than planned, the youth you internet television service has

been officially launched. It combines free-to-air television, a

digital recorder and video-on- demand service. The set-top box?

I mentioned at the beginning of the show at Cambridge could be where

Kate Ricketts upgrade it. Each of these these sheets contains half a

million transistors to recoup from today until every day plastic. In

this case, they are combined with a layer of e-ink to showing the Dio.

These will be ready by next year. Commercial manufacture is done in

the Dresden factory but to do it, I am in Cambridge. If you are

wondering, this is how it is named. Take a sheet of glass, applying

sticky plastic and metallised plastic substance on top. Now, at

Patten is scraped into the net. It is that he did a few times, and in

semiconductor but he was. Game it is the bays or elation. That

effectively rules holes into thing to put patterns. The finished

structure is what is there on the media. In this case, an electronic

Here, and handle it were be sending pictures PDF files that are Wi-Fi

to a free-standing display. Tully text becomes more readable on a

large screen. If manufacturers are willing to take on new products

like this, it will be one more step towards but Allah pay this future.

-- a low kick and this feature. This means that over the last few

years, we were been looking at how we can but plastic transistors

universally. The other aspect is to do with working with plastic and

then you meet in plastic. There are lots of challenge is a long way if

we have overcome them. Of May thinking about flexible displays at

all? This is we can carry eat three per around -- e-for a round that is

durable and light weight. This is an excellence it's a thin voice

smartphone. It is all very well having these as a display but

something has got to generate the video. At got to be a palace walls.

Where are you going to put VAT? We are working with related companies

as partners to work on a solution for that. We are looking at having

the edge of the display includes yet it for next week and activity.

This does not just apply to plastic, does it? You could use this on

anything? Anything could be electronic. There could be an

electronic display on a table, and cheer. You can her the deal and

It's incredible to think this 32gb MicroSD card can hold as much tax

as the entire library at Clare College here, that's about 30,000

books. Despite the success of this kind of technology there something

about paper we humans just loved. Is it a habit that we just can't

kick? Back to LJ Rich, who for the past month has been on a quest to

go completely paperless. By the looks of things she needs all the

help she can get. My life on paper. Around 25,000 sheets of school

reports, rejection letters and admin. Nifty technology can store

photos, music and video electronically, but paper seems to

have been forgotten in the digital revolution. Obviously some of this

is worth keeping for historical or sentimental reasons, but there are

a few. -- few documents that are best kept on paper. Like certain

records and contracts. In fact if you're not sure about getting rid

of any original's then check with the relevant organisations first,

for example the insurance company or tax office. If you work for

yourself chances are you're going to have to keep at least six years

of records, possibly more, of Records. But keeping those things

electronically is a viable alternative if you're willing to

put the time in to get it all up and running. Paul Holstein runs a

block about getting organised. -- blog. The sellers are in their 80s.

They didn't have a computer. There's no way they themselves try

to accept something that is why this or paperless, they needed that

paper to sign. We dealt with our side electronically and they dealt

with their side on paper and it worked out fine. Getting stuffed

into digital form is not too hard. The PDF format is preferred for

records retention. Your multi- function printer probably has a

scanning functions included and may be able to scan both sides, have a

look at the settings to check, but this method takes time if you have

a lot to get through. More expensive dedicated scammers to

both sides simultaneously, and take out blank pages. Most include

software like optical character recognition that converts a picture

of text into readable and searchable text. For road warriors

they are portable scanners that can scan internal memory from and St

card if you don't have a computer with you. But you don't know if it

has worked until you plug into a computer. You can even turn your

smartphone into a scanner with apps that take advantage of a camera

function. Or you can just simply take a photo. But now you have scan

everything there's a problem. Yeah, a load of files. There's no point

scanning it in if you can't find anything. The professionals say

choose a method or naming convention and settle on it, for

example, date, client's name, project name. There's no worldwide

standard on this. There's no-one single way of doing it. Whatever

you decide you must do it consistently. You keep at it. That

takes discipline. You can make your own fault a structure in a

reference file do so it works like a physical filing cabinet -- --

folder. Some programmes promise to organise for you, adding tax or

even guessing what to name your file. I have worked out I only need

to keep a fraction of my paper life, just one box. Next I will have to

make a full back-up and shred anything confidential. Next I have

got all this to do. Not exactly paperless, but less paper. After

that it is a question of keeping my devices charged up with portable

power. The next challenge is convincing everybody else. LJ Rich,

who by the way insisted we all go paperless this week, nobody escapes,

including me. Anyway, no matter how far you have got with perching your

space you will still need to get some online and mobile apps to help

keep it paper free. Kate Rosol has been leafing through her book marks

for a special paperless Webscape. Question, when was the last time

you backed up? If the answer to that is anything more than a couple

of days ago then you're probably not ready to go paperless, because

if you lose your computer, you lose everything. Luckily we are spoiled

for choice when it comes to back-up services, so to help you choose the

best one for you, here's a wrap up of the four for runners. Backblaze

Is a good solution. Data is heavily encrypted and you retrieve it as a

zip file, or by ordering a USB from the company. You can try the

unlimited service for 15 days, after which there is a monthly

subscription. Crash plan is an interesting service that let's you

back out free to and always on computer at home or with a family

of friend. Available on Mac, Windows, Linux and open Solaris,

there are also well priced open storage plans if you don't have any

spare people. If you want to back things up like documents and photos

drop box is an old favourite that gives you to gigabyte streak going

up to 16 gigabytes by referring friends. It is available for Mac

and PC with IRE West and smart phones covered. And for $10 a month

you can upgrade to 50 gigabytes of storage. Sugar sink is worth a

mention as well as it let's you back up any folder on your computer

in real time. It also includes apps for Windows seven, Scythian, and

the Kindle Fire. With five gigabytes free it is good

competition for drop box. And Google Drive might be the new kid

on the block but integration with the other' cloud offerings makes

this a could kick. You get five gigabytes free with competitive

pricing for upgrades. Once you're sorted for back-up, Checkout fresh

books to organise your cashflow. The browser interface is a pleasure

to use and one sure clients and contracts are in the system it

really speaks up dealing and invoicing. You get to drive the

full service for up to 25 clients free for 30 days, with $20 a month

thereafter. You can add expenses, assign them to a client, and even

make up estimates that can be turned into an invoice with a

single click. With EC exports, for tax and accounting, this is a

powerhouse of this tool that has got all the tedious stuff blinked.

Contract workers to build by the how will appreciate time tracking

and integration with coverage Sion and base camp makes this a great

way to keep on top of time sheets. There's an iPhone app but it comes

from a third party and the fourth and version is a bit pricey. The

lighter version works great for expenses but you can only access

three clients. Support from the developer is and always great. But

they are telling me they are fully behind and will offer support where

they can. And when you carry your office in your smartphone you had

better be fully aware of what the actual downloading will do with the

Commission's Hugh Grant. -- the permissions you Grant. Clue for

from security specialist split defender is a paid at that analyses

your downloads keeping you informed of what's being done with your data.

Apple does has high standards when it comes to reading out malicious

apps, but when you're giving permission to access your contacts,

e-mail, Callander, location and social networks, well it's good to

know there's an independent pair of eyes looking at your privacy. And

not to let down all you Android uses, there's one in development

for you as well. Kate Rosol. And as we said, LJ Rich challenged the

programme team to make this week's programme entirely paperless, that

was fun, let me tell you! To see how we did go to the website. Quite
