Tech literally cannot usurp paper in terms of ease of use or how cheap it is to access.

Idk man, if I wanted to write out this comment I can just whip out my phone, but if I wanted to write on paper I'd have to go and actually find paper, find a pen that works, if I don't then I have to find a pencil that's sharpened, and if it's not then I have to find a pencil sharpener

Even if I had a pen and paper always on me like my phone, I type significantly faster on my phone compared to writing on paper anyways, and typing take significantly less effort than writing does

Yeah but if you didnt have a phone how much would you have to spend to get one? 500 dollars? 1000 dollars? You might not have them now but it costs like maybe 10 bucks to fix that.

And what if you need to give an email to someone, quickly, you give them your phone? Go through the hoops of exchanging contact information? Potentially breaching your peace of mind ?
