I agree with you, but when a document is 1000 pages and is being reviewed
by 15 people it becomes difficult for me to explain to my kids how
important the environment is to us.

I prefer to edit and review documents on paper rather than on the
monitor.
It's easier to read paper documents (more dpi than on the monitor).
Online
reviewing doesn't allow me to flip back and forth between pages to
compare
paragraphs. When I review paper documents, I move away from the computer,
lean
back in the chair, and rest my feet on an opened bottom drawer of my
desk.  I
like to believe that this change of position is helping me avoid
repetitive
stress injuries.
