Is pen and paper obsolete? I see a some college students taking notes on iPad with a stylus, but most people still take notes by typing. Rarely does anyone take paper notes. Are there advantages to using a stylus and does anybody actually have a use case for this techs?
If you had to pick one of these techs which one would it be? Or is typing superior? Maybe even Speech to Text techs
If I type stuff, I might remember itBut if I write it down, I definitely will
pen and paper is best
>>108522187I use an ipad and go back and forth between typing or using a stylus. Typing is faster with a keyboard and no need to worry about sloppy handwriting, but if you need to make a quick chart or illustration, it's 100x harder with the keyboard. I'm still unsure which one works better overall, but at least inan ipad I can swap easier. If it's a laptop or dedicated handwriting device like this, you're kind of stuck with one way or the other.
>>108522187making simple notes inside notebook grew to entire cult of note taking, boosting your productivity, hacking your mind, making second brain ect. Making simple notes with pen on paper just to remember stuff it's out of fashion. Now you have to fell for notetaking meme. You have to watch 1h of yt tutorials about obsydian to even start.And just like that, they are using obsidian, notion, notebooklm, fucking ipads, eink notepads, syncing it between devices, making some kind of stupid wikipedia like tree structure, using shity addons, reformating that shit, asking llm to reformat that shit, even paying for fucking cloud notebook. Weird culture for retarded it tech bros trained by corpooverlords to be as eficient and fast as possible
>>108522547Dude, I just like being able to remember things I'd otherwise forget. It's not a hobby or lifestyle for some of us. I'm just using the technology we have. Yes, some of those videos are nuts, and some people take it way too seriously (usually girls and fags) but if we have the tech to keep track of information better, it's silly not to.
>>108522187>can’t ctrl+f pen&paperunusable
I boughted an ipad and it’s actually pretty good for writingshame that the ipad OS is such locked down trash, I’d really enjoy a full blown mac with the option of detaching the display and using the pen on itphysical notebooks take up too much space
>>108522547I actually use Obsidian to take notes for most of my college classes, but I pretty much only use folders, markdown, and adding images. I have never gotten into the linking or mind-map stuff. Most of the stuff online seems like "productivity porn" where they are just making themselves busy through note-taking software. >>108522621Yeah the hardware seems amazing on the newer ipads but after using an iphone there is no way I could stomach the software limitations. I have a very old Microsoft Surface Pro 3 that I want to try throwing Linux/Gnome on.
>>108522187it was over a decade now but we still had computers then...i just used paper and I think most people did tooif I had my computer out it was because I wasn't taking notes or even paying attention to the class
No electricity,no cpu.I like pen and paper. Simple and efficient.
>>108522187>Is pen and paper obsolete?no. i work in a carpentry workshop and one of those expensive tablets wouldn't even come close to being able to replace pen and paper.for note taking as a student though, sure.
>>108522621That's the real shame. My ipad is good for notes and media consumption, but knowing it has enough power under the hood to be a full PC is frustrating, especially since the constraint's are 100% artificial by Apple to not cannibalize mac sales. I's use something else, just on principle, but all other tablets are pure diarrhea compared to an ipad. Samsung could completely sweep the floor with apple if they tried to make an open and PC like device, but they're tards.
>Tech exists for thousands of years>Is it obsolete?I'd still rather ride a horse than a stupid car. I'd rather BBQ my steak on a real fire in the wilderness than using an air frier from fisherprice.Notice the irony of current tech; we try to mimick old tech and can't beat it. "It feels like the real thing", well why not use the real thing? "Barefoot shoes" well great updoot guys. "Veg burgers"? Nt soiboi I'll stick to the real thing, again.The obssession with tech is cultish. Also notice how the most expensive pieces of clothing are those that are the least artificial. Fur, leather, etc. Notice how the most expensive art is still the ones made without digital intervention.blablabla blogpost tldr old simple tech is best, gtfo matrix
>>108524231Depends a bit I guess. For my work, I find digital notes more handy. I need to see and sign a lot of pdfs, edit and update schedules and keep up with emails and notes on developing topics. I tried using pen and paper, for a year, and while I liked it a lot, and prefer it over digital notes in terms of “workflow”, it’s just not as handy. I forgot the book sometimes, had to copy the text from scraps into the notebook. And viceversa, had to copy a lot of text from the notebook to emails or docs. Now I just use onenote mostly (lol), and sometimes paper notebook for things I know I wont be needing later. I export stuff I know I want to keep as pdfs and save those on my drive.
