A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Certainly. Mostly it started as a way to keep tax documents and receipts safe and easily findable.
It's grown into a "huh, maybe this letter from <bank, school, insurance, charity, etc> is important, but it clutters the house less when ones and zeros", so we scan it in.
Then when we need info, we can just search for the name of the sender, the date, account numbers, literally anything remotely legible in the document and get lightning fast results.
TYSM for this explanation! super helpful 💜
