Managing paperwork has always been a challenge, evolving significantly over time. In the mid-1800s, clerks worked closely with employers in cramped counting houses, but industrialization and expanding businesses soon demanded larger, more structured office spaces, separating manual and non-manual laborers. By the early 20th century, technological advancements like railroads and telegraphs fueled the rise of large corporations, leading to overcrowded offices and the emergence of management systems like Taylorism to improve efficiency.
