> This kind of complaint magically appeared after students got Internet-enabled laptops and were allowed to bring them at school. I had the same kind of problem since elementary school, I was first allowed to use a computer during class in uni. > That's bullshit Just because it doesn't occur to you it does not mean that it's not true. Just because you started paying attention to it now it does not mean that it wasn't there before either. > No you can't Well, you might not be able to but many people can. > You can't draw graphs, you can't draw diagrams Sure you can. There are many tools for this job, both text and graphical ones. > You can't either type fancy maths, physics and chemistry formulas as fast and as "aligned" as you can do do it by hand. With Latex + Emacs I can type fancy mathematical formulas much faster and much more aligned than when writing them down. > There is zero benefit in typing notes vs writing them down Except that writing down notes for me and for many other people is useless, tiresome and distracting.
