Fun fact, I used to work for a cleaning company that, for a time, contracted to clean their corporate HQ. They still, in like 2005-ish, filed mostly everything on paper. Their datacenter room was half computer racks, half giant printers that would run nonstop printing reports. There was a giant row of empty server cages in there; a guy who worked there told me it was what used to be “toys.com”. They had sold it off. Their business would be dead in 4 years.
That seems so crazy that they were still printing everything in 2005, but it was still very much a paper driven world then. It’s weird how easily we forget what life was like.
The world has changed a great deal since 1999, mostly because of the Internet and tech companies like Amazon.
