I’ve been taught to think using pen and paper all my life. For the first 14 years of my education, nearly everything i wrote, every problem i broke down, every diagram i drew was on a piece on paper . Post entering engineering college, computers started slowly being used for increasingly more things. Assignments and course handouts which used to be printed and given to students were distrubuted via FTP servers . Important announcements came via email (though nearly everything was posted on the physical notice boards and many people relied more on notice boards than anything else) . Then i entered my workplace and the inversion was completely. The maximum i’ve seen anyone ever use a physical medium for is for casual whiteboarding . Overwhelming majority of information creation and transmission is digital. I have no problems with that but i’m of the opinion that somehow, free wheeling and quick doodling or scribbling enable by paper just can’t hold up against the slow mediums we have to putting our thoughts on a digital medium . This is very likely a problem that will go away and we’ll soon as computers being to mimic our analog instruments better.
