i do appreciate being able to type and access notes all over without lugging it around, and ebooks. digital media is great for storing ideas once solidified.

but when coming up with something wispy - the seeds of a concept, or when it comes to solving a problem or coming up with a well-thought out design - anything that involves assisting the brain’s thought process with quick scribbles, layered drawing, complicated arithmetic, abstracting thoughts - pen on paper is the most effective means for me personally. a cursor even with a mouse/touchscreen/keyboard is still extremely limited and drains more effort from your main thoughts, when compared to using your own fingers and paper and pen.

Very well put, Queer. I agree. As much as I’m in favor of all the points noted in post # 1, I still find myself scribbling down ideas. I am, however, using mind-mapping apps once in a while when I have a lot of ideas and need structured, organized plans. But I still love a good pen and paper.
