For a technologist, I'm definitely fairly anti-technology. The height of human invention was the written word. And pencil and paper is still impossible to beat.

For a technologist, I'm definitely fairly anti-technology. The height of human invention was the written word. And pencil and paper is still impossible to beat. Unless you're decked out with a keyboard, no smart device is going to beat it. Even then, markup is really hard. You'll then need a stylus, and some great software to match what you had at the start with pencil and paper. And with the paper I can rip the page out and hand it to someone. Or I could scan it. Whatever, pretty flexible. That pretty much amounts to a joke that a comedian will be telling for at least another century. I use an iPhone 12 mini, but I'm not a heavy user of a phone. As a Xennial, I lived through and was cognizant the last 20 years of the analog age, roughly capping off with the Blackberry at the end of the millennium (and took a few years to take off). The smart devices haven't really helped anything. Laptops and desktops have. Smart devices really were just tethers for you to your work/life/consumer distractions. It has its uses, and that's why I carry mine, but primarily just basic communication is why I keep it. I can live without the secure Wake On Lan to my desktop, internet banking and whatever relatively useless features it has. Pencil, paper, laptop. Still can't beat it, smart devices are largely just pieces of trash or new ball and chain at worst.
