Abstract— A paperless workplace in environment with the help of which the use of paper is eliminated or greatly reduced. This is done by converting documents and other papers into digital form. Proponents claim that "going paperless" can save money, boost productivity, save space, make documentation and information sharing easier, keep personal information more secure, and help the environment. The concept can be extended to communications outside the office as well. Keywords— Paperless, Environment, Digitalized, Secure. I. ROLL OF DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT With associate degree increasing the quantity of your time spent reading electronic documents, a screen-based reading behavior is rising. The screen-based reading behavior is characterized by longer spent on browsing and scanning, keyword recognizing, one-time reading, non-linear reading, and reading additional by selection, whereas less time is spent on in-depth reading, and targeted reading. Decreasing sustained attention is additionally noted. annotation and light whereas reading may be a common activity within the written surroundings. However, this “traditional” pattern has not nevertheless migrated to the digital surroundings once folks scan electronic documents. In the digital surroundings through examining the evolution of scanning or perceptive however folks read documents among a selected amount of your time. The goal of this study is to explore reading within the digital surroundings from a distinct perspective. rather than perceptive however folks scan electronic documents.s Understanding changes in reading behavior would facilitate in coming up with more practical digital libraries and empower users within the digital surroundings. The impact of digital media on reading has progressively been the article of empirical and theoretical exploration by researchers from a good vary of disciplines, notably science, applied science, education, skill studies, and library and data science. Every discipline has developed its distinctive analysis focuses and methodology. With the growing quantity of digital data obtainable and therefore the increasing quantity of your time that individuals pay reading electronic media, the digital surroundings have begun to have an effect on people’s reading behavior. II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PAPER Paper product manufacturing contributes significantly to deforestation and man-made climate change, and produces greenhouse gases. According to the American Forest & Paper Association, paper manufacturing is the third largest user of fossil fuels worldwide. Although measures such as recycling and using tree-free paper can help reduce the environmental impact of paper, most paper still ends up in landfills. Paper production also leads to air pollution, as paper manufacturing releases nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide are major contributors to acid rain, whereas CO2 is a greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. Waste water discharged from pulp and paper mills contains solids, nutrients, and dissolved organic matter that are classified as pollutants. Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus can cause or exacerbate eutrophication of fresh water bodies. Printing inks and toners are very expensive and use environment-damaging volatile organic compounds, heavy metals and non-renewable oils, although standards for the amount of heavy metals in ink have been set by some regulatory bodies.

Deinking recycled paper pulp results in waste slurry, sometimes weighing 22% of the weight of the recycled wastepaper, which may go to landfills. The environmental impact of paper is significant, which has led to changes in industry and behavior at both business and personal levels. With the use of modern technology such as the printing press and the highly mechanized harvesting of wood, disposable paper has become a cheap commodity. This has led to a high level of consumption and waste. With the rise in environmental awareness due to the lobbying by environmental organizations and with increased government regulation there is now a trend towards sustainability in the pulp and paper industry. III. Major Technology Trends India is playing a major role in the growth of online learning opportunities that are popping up throughout Asia. Over the past few decades, India has developed numerous world-class universities and colleges which are fast becoming destinations for some of Asia’s best and brightest, and their online programs are experiencing a similar boom. Part of the explosion of interest has stemmed from economic concerns, as many simply can’t afford to take two or more years off of work to attend a traditional college. While home-based schools are doing well, including the popular IITs and private schools universities are also bringing online education to India, offering courses to Indian students.

Figure 1- Showing Usage of Internet

1. Personal Access to Mobile Devices High school student access to tablets tops out at 50 percent and laptops come in at 60 percent. In addition to personal access, the survey found about a third of students have access to a device (typically laptops or tablets) in their school. 2. Internet Connectivity This was an interesting set of statistics showing the ways students generally connect to the Internet when at home. According to the study, 64 percent of students surveyed identify 3G- or 4G-enabled devices as their primary means of connecting to the Internet, with another 23 percent saying they connect through an Internetenabled TV or Wi-Fi console. 3. Use of Video for Class work and Homework Video is another tool that has been on the rise in recent years. While her presentation focused on students, Onethird of students are accessing video online through their own initiative to help with their homework. 4. Using Different Tools for Different Tasks With the proliferation of so many tools, it isn’t surprising students are designing “best-fit” solutions for their very specific needs. Rather than using one or even a few platforms for various tasks, students are increasingly savvy about taking advantage of the benefits of the tools available.

5. An increased Interest in Online Learning This year found that students who have not taken an online course are increasingly interested in the opportunity, citing a desire to have more control over their learning and believing that they will get more support from an online teacher. Math was the subject student were most interested in taking online, with Foreign language coming in second and science a distant third. 6. Social Media in Schools Another set of questions revolved around the place of social media in the school. It was clear the student expectations for the use of these technologies far outpaced those of administrators, teachers and parents. Administrators scored the highest among the non-student groups represented. In the below table it is the Emerging technologies for those technical variations that express progressive developments at intervals a field for aggressive advantage. TECHNOLOGY

IV. BENEFITS OF A GOING GREEN There are many benefits with a paperless office, beyond simply having less paper to deal with. While you're unlikely to have a completely paper-free office, electronic communication and other systems can eliminate much of it. Let's take a closer look at how this has benefited some businesses: 1. Reduced costs and quicker access to information. MajesticInvites.com is an eight-person company that designs online invitations. Being paperless saves on printing, mailing, paper and storage space, and because employees can access electronic documents more quickly than paper, they can almost instantly respond to customer questions or make their changes. 2. More space. When using this it was ready to switch locations after making his office paperless, and noticed that having half as many file cabinets as before going paperless. 3. Document security and easy information sharing. It has been found storing and retrieving paper charts was time consuming. Password protection at different levels limits the access that office staff has to the information. 4. Access anywhere and electronic prescriptions. It has switched to electronic medical records (EMR). With the EMR, doctors can access patient information from anywhere at any time. They can also send electronic prescriptions directly to pharmacies. 5. Less paper in. A company or institute plans to accept paper faxes and turn them into electronic documents and keep them from coming into the company as paper. 6. Less temporary paper. For appointment types the name in a waiting room computer and puts a finger on a biometric reader. 7. Less paper out. Files clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax returns electronically, eliminating paper returns, and then turns the return into a PDF document that he gives the client on a rewriteable CD. And then the client brings back the CD to have another year's return added. V. Advantages Of Going Green: 1. Reduces carbon footprint: One of the most powerful benefits of having a paperless environment is that it can help not just the environment but also the operation at the same time.

Carbon debt: This is also a common belief that when you have a paperless office or even a low carbon office, this may not always be the case. Most of the devices are also constructed by using environmentally damaging materials like heavy metals and petrochemical products. VII. CONCLUSION FOR PAPERLESS ENVIRONMENT Today, more than 95 percent of paper is made from wood cellulose. The paper industry is the 4th largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions among manufacturing industries, and contributes 9% of the manufacturing sector’s carbon emissions. Paper was the one used in everything that involved office work. It still used today but computers have greatly improved the life and work load of people working in that area. Most often information on the form will later on be transferred to a computer data base where it is possible to analyze them from a statistic point of view. The paper is completely removed from the situation in this case. Going paperless at home can help you get organized, save you money, and leave you with peace of mind that your important information is protected. Most importantly, it provides easy access to information that you otherwise may not remember or document, such as medical history or passwords. Whether intentionally or not, many of us have started to reduce the amount of paper we use since the invention of the computer. Now, with the use of today’s computer software and online tools, it is possible to go entirely paperless at home. Despite living in the age of e-mail, wireless networks, smart phones, and tablets. Often, it’s the other businesses or government agencies that you interface with that demand paper forms or faxes. Sometimes, it’s just that old habits die hard. And making a small technology investment now could
