To the editor:

Technology! I am sick of it! This was lauded to be a “paperless society.” The biggest pile of paper is at the community printer of most enterprises! My bank tells me they are making my money more safe; now I just cannot find out about it. They have some information tech geek that has sold them a bill of goods in the name of security, and now I cannot find out anything!

And this newspaper has gone and changed a perfectly good format for its Web site. I had to look for 10 minutes to find the place to submit this letter. Why cannot these information tech geeks leave well enough alone? We are not all latter-day electronic wizards; we do not all carry cell phones, BlackBerries, blueberries, whatever berries to keep in up-to-the-second touch with every insignificant factoid in the universe.

Paperless society, indeed. If it were not for newsprint and the printed copy of this newspaper, I would still be looking for yesterday’s news! Gads.
