With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there’s many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.

So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?

    As a uni student I do both. I generally type notes during lectures and live meetings, and handwrite notes for prerecorded videos and other general study.

    I still handwrite because my exams are going to be handwritten and I don’t want to lose my ability to handwrite fast lol.

    You can also doodle/draw diagrams when you handwrite. It’s harder to do that on a phone/computer.

    I still use pen and paper because it just feels better than handwriting on a screen.
