“ Logbooks: someone needs to distribute them, collect them, read them, transfer the (many many many) written lines to a computer, validate the signature samples/writing style, etc. etc.” Welcome to the 21st century where time clocks that can send data to a computer in real time exist. Just scan your thumb and all the data is there. No primitive transcribing by hand. Geez what are you going to suggest next, faxing the records around? :)
