The article appears to conflate notetaking by hand versus notetaking on a keyboard with summarised notes versus verbatim notes. There is a paradox here though, and I'm experiencing it myself as I review 10yrs of note books filled during the course of my PhD. I was hoping to find lots of forgotten treasures but I'm discovering more and more that anything I wrote down was also retained (more or less), of course anything not written down was lost to time. It's as if I may as well have been writing onto a ceramic tile with a drinking straw.
