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?

Just on phone. They're not important notes though. Just random stuff. I don't even remember the context for 80% of that.

Some examples:

Slimport is its name you donut

Yeah, what's Slimport?

install tar1090 and dump1090-fa

Never did. Too much lazy, and dump1090 works.

I usually have a dozen sticky notes on my desk - some i write and some other people leave for me. An email from three days ago is easier to forget than the sticky note.
