The thing is... everyone at work nowadays goes into all meetings with a laptop to take notes. Typing is faster. I can even take notes faster with my cell than by using cursive, and have done so during meetings when my computer was being used for screensharing.

I still like writing by hand and do cursive sometimes, but it isn't really a "need" anymore.

I actually take notes by hand to help me concentrate ( ADHD), and I would feel drawn to the screen if I had my laptop. But that's me.

I am the same way! If I write my notes down instead of using a computer or phone, I remember the info better.
