When I was working on my master’s in education around 2006, I worked in the main office for my department. We held 2-3 big events each year that brought hundreds/thousands of teachers and students to our campus. We still faxed out all the information to the hundreds of schools we contacted to participate. And let me tell you-faxing them info, and folding informational letters and stuffing envelopes in 2006 was a complete and total waste of time, especially on the ancient printing press of a copier/fax machine we had that broke if you looked at it funny.
I always pressed my immediate supervisor/adviser about why we weren’t doing all of wholly using online registration and e-mail, ESPECIALLY given how tech savvy he was. He kept insisting that there enough dinosaurs out there who still wouldn’t get the info if we didn’t do it that way. He finally caved about a year after I left and went full digital.
