Comment Digital signatures (Score 1) 511
I only deal with paper when I need to sign something - which usually means that I receive a PDF by email, print it out, sign the paper, scan it, and email the scan back. If we could only get a widely accepted system for digital signatures I wouldn't need to keep doing this ridiculous ritual, or deal with paper at all.
On the other hand, my handwriting looks like I'm a ten-year old, as I don't write anything by hand more than once or twice a month, and then it's just short notes. I'm going back to school next year, and the prospect of writing long texts by hand for exams etc. is really worrying me - the lack of efficient editing facilities and the slow pace of my writing is quite certain to have an adverse effect on the quality of my work.
