Via Shaker GoldFishy, here's a fun story about people who still use notebooks in the digital age, and about how taking handwritten notes has been found (for some people) to increase comprehension of a subject.
I'm still a total notebook head. If I've got a long piece forming itself in my mind, it's way easier for me to sketch it out on paper than on the computer. Scribbles everywhere!
And I know absolutely that I can't retain information as well if I'm typing notes than if I'm handwriting them.
But everyone is different! What about you?
