> On weather-battered offshore platforms in Britain’s North Sea, for instance, technicians still walk around with “big pieces of paper in the rain, wind,” said Claire Day, a BP operations engineer. “It is not an ideal way to work.”

Such an interesting contrast between using Shazam-like technology to discover oil/sand and using paper on the rigs.
