Work is so much easier if you're using the latest gadgets. But is the cost for upgrading worth it? This slide explains. see original article: http://www.theofficesuppliessupermarket.com/articles/Do-you-need-the-latest-office-equipment

1. Do you really need the latest office
equipment in order to get your job done?

2. You’d think that on a site like this we’d be
advocating the use of as much office equipment
as possible in an attempt to get you parting with
your hard earned cash to increase our sales, but
sometimes you have to step back and wonder if
the latest and greatest is really what you need in
order to push your business forward.

3. For example, you’d have no doubt heard of, if not
actually seen, the latest in interactive white
boards that can be bought with all kinds of
features.
They’re particularly high-tech these days and
rather than just being somewhere to jot your
doodles only to be wiped away later, you can
save what you’ve written to a USB stick or even
print them off.

5. I’m not talking ‘Minority Report’ style things where you wave your
hands across the screen and see everything move, although that’s
possible on other equipment (yes, these days you can do that, I’ve
done it, it’s ace), but even the ability to print off your scrawling
spider-drawings means you can make the meeting a lot more
interactive and maybe get something done after it.
But do you need it?

6. How about a flip-chart?
Same thing – you can write as much as you like and then take the
paper away with you. OK, not everybody can get a copy, but
you can always make notes later and email them on to
everyone. But there’s the time element involved.

8. Basically, you need to make a justification
in the amount of time used when you
don’t have this equipment compared to
when you do.
That’s the clincher.

9. Consider monitors. I’m sure you’ve seen in many offices that
some people have HUGE monitors.
I mean monster things that make you wonder if the person
sitting behind it is a real-live incarnation of Mr. Magoo.

10. What’s the benefit? Well a few studies have actually found that
in some instances a larger monitor can improve productivity
drastically.
This is down to the reduced amount of fiddling around with
windows. Now, that’s in some cases.

11. You might not need to fiddle around with windows
all day and so it would be pointless having a large
monitor, but for some, maybe graphic artists etc. it
may be very useful and the increased productivity
and time saved may well more than make up for the
cost of a super-size screen.

12. So there you go. Office equipment shouldn’t actually be seen
as a cost, more of an investment and if you do your sums
right you might make it easier to justify that investment to
the boss.
Just remember who explained it all, eh?
