And what happens if you want to show it to someone who doesn't have
access to a computer...?
Feels like digital exclusion to me!

Subject: Can't print Won't print - New WWF format for documents
I came across this interesting piece in my local paper at the weekend.
Article courtesy of the Courier & Advertiser Weekend supplement Network
by Giles Turnbull (www.gilest.org) - Sat 18/12/2010
Can't print, won't print
We've all send requests at the end of email messages, imploring us not
to print, to think of the trees instead. Now the World Wide Fund for
Nature
(WWF) has created its own digital document format for computers, with
the suffix .wwf (instead of .doc or .docx or .pdf you might be used to).
WWF files look the same but have one crucial difference: they can't be
printed at all. WWF hopes we will all install its software package and
send WWF documents around to discourage printing and save paper. The
download is only available for MACs right now, Windows software is
"coming soon".

How is that for a revolutionary way to cut paper and make a leap of
faith in a truly digital world?
I am sure everyone of us would feel uncomfortable selecting the WWF
option "just in case" we need to print that document one day..... (and
of course the true digital records manager amongst us will ask loads of
questions about the accessibility over time!).
Still, a development worth mentioning!
Regards,
Edith
