Handling documents and light objects

When the expression "document transport" is uttered, a condescending smile appears on the face of any young interlocutor, marking the archaic purpose of this term, and the embarrassment felt by the person using it.

In the age of the Internet, where all information and documentation is accessible to anyone, anywhere, in any country, transporting documents by pneumatic or mechanical means seems like a museum of past techniques.

But if the new headquarters of the biggest government departments, banks, insurance companies, etc., equipped with the most sophisticated IT and office automation systems, are installing increasingly efficient automated document handling networks, isn't paperless just the utopian dream of a generation of computer scientists immersed in a sanitized, asexual virtual world?

Will future generations only learn to read, write, draw and think through a computer screen?

Aren't imagination and creativity linked to all our senses, and only fully expressed through them?

Every tool is only as good as its user.

The computer as master thinker? A simple sketch, a scribbled handwritten document returns it to its simple value as an extremely powerful tool.

Today, rapid document transfer is more necessary than ever for information processing, on which key decisions depend. Evolving techniques and their reliability offer solutions adapted to each problem.
