When I am teaching a real estate class there are many ideas that are shared by the participants. Yesterday we remembered the way our business functioned without all the modern technology. Hours of travel time, and gallons of gas, moving paperwork around between clients, agents, attorneys, etc. Now it’s simply a matter of hitting the “send” button. Although I have been shoved into a new modern profession, there was one hold-back. Paper. I love paper. Maybe it came from the thrill of a stack of clean, lined paper when I was a kid going to school in the fall. The rough texture of construction paper, slick photo paper, gorgeous watercolor papers….all create an extra warmth in my soul. Then I was introduced to art papers, beautiful prints and textures. How could I abandon paper for an e-reader? My thoughtful husband was so excited to hand me the Nexus 7 for Christmas. I think I can do this! I can load a great book, take it anywhere and read it without adequate outside light. Then, the greatest of all……I can read myself to sleep, wake up anytime of the night, read….and Jim’s sleep isn’t interrupted! Oh, how sweet. My heart still beats for paper……but I love convenience!
