This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Not to detract from your point but people have been trying to create and market free-form note taking apps for ages... I believe the latest super-expensive iPads can do it wih the pen.

yeah, I was more thinking of like my phone's notes app lol. Also, freeform computer note-taking requires weird hardware and can't search the text of my notes, so, still a tradeoff...

I believe there are apps that can translate handwriting to normal text (doubt they would be able to deal wth mine...) but the time between them arriving around now and the demise of normal people taking notes on paper is too long. An entire generation has aged out of the habit.

(you do see people extol the virtues of specific German notebooks and Japanese fountain pen, but when I do, I cross the street to get away from them)
