I remember sitting in a mass of 100+ Macbooks in some of my lectures, and people thought I was crazy when I printed out the PowerPoint lectures and took notes on that instead of my HP laptop. You’re right, there is just something about using a pen and paper that beats technology, at least in my mind. I even bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, to stimulate the writing process while incorporating technology. But even then, I would transfer the notes onto a hard copy version.
