@renardboy@mastodon.social @harld@masto.ai Is 'efficiency' in the sense of cost reduction and 'efficiency' in the sense of use reduction always the same? I work as a production editor in a publishing office, and we're pretty much paperless. I never print out a damn thing. There are certain advantages for using Word files and pdfs all along the way--usually fewer typos in the finished product. But, being old enough to remember doing it all on paper--even doing layouts with waxers and x-acto knives--I can say that the *process* of editing and proofreading are worse, less efficient, slower, than marking paper by hand.
