The article deals with new technology and a computer-savvy workforce. The factors that contributed to a slowdown in paper sales in the U.S. are enumerated. A booming economy and improved desktop printers in the early to mid-1990s helped boost paper sales by 6 to 7 percent. But the growth rate of paper sales in the U.S. today is flattening by about half a percent each year. A primary reason for the change is provided. Xerox Corp. is one example of a company working on new technologies that may further reduce office paper use.
