All in one printers integrate all the important machines that a modern office needs, a printer, a copier, a fax machine and a scanner. It can even include some Internet capabilities and email service. They come as a great substitute for all the various gadgets that were used in the past. Working places in the past decades were full to the ceiling with various types of machines and technological devices: printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, computers all were huddled together to form the mess in the working place, so stressful for everyone.

But now things have changed: now we have those lovely all in one printers whose only purpose is to alleviate the stress and make the team work easier. But do they succeed in doing this? Imagine what happens in an office where ten people are striving to get some operation done from a single machine. Some of your colleagues want to make copies of a document, others want to send a fax, others to scan something…

The needs of working people has surrounded the all in one printer, and really makes it hard to feel the team work in action. When everyone wants to use the same machine, stress in work is the logical consequence. People start to fight over the machine. Everything is a mess. Imagine what would happen if this superior all in one printer broke up for a while? No-one in the office would be able to do their job. What's more, the repair would really cost a fortune.

So, as you may already have noticed, all-in-one printers are not that grand. They have their strong points , as they really free some space in the working office. They make things easier to control. They put an order to the whole working process. But in the same time, these machines create other forms of chaos, even more difficult to overcome. They make people fight over stupid things such as who to be the next to use the all in one printer. Thus they create instability in the team working process. Another negative effect is that once they break, the whole work will be forced to cease until repair of the printer is done.

Thanks to the modern technology, people can now avail of the wonderful opportunity of having everything in one place. The all in one printer has put everything in order. But it has also created another order, which can be really stressful for the working people. That's why we should be careful when praising the technological advancements: they have done great job, but missed some important details as well.
