[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 9224461, member: 6921294"] I worked for an engineering/manufacturing company about 15 years ago and the manager wanted to scan the thousands of technical drawings stored in flat files and put them on our server. I was one of the younger employees in the department and immediately said yes when he asked for the groups opinion. All the older employees whined and complained and convinced him it was a bad idea. He caved in under 5 minutes. I was so mad I almost quit on the spot due to the lack innovation and constant adhering to outdated 40-50 year old policies. Digitizing all that information would have made the department so much more efficient. Back in the 80s and 90s we all used handwritten character sheets, but nowadays I never would, I don't see the need anymore. I prefer using form fillable pdf character sheets. They are easily stored, shared, updated, re-printed if someone loses or forgets it, and they are legible. Though I do prefer paper sheets over an app on a tablet. computer, or phone at the table, and encourage my player to use them if I'm the GM.
