When I was young my school provided students with these amazingly thin tablets that were close to perfectly white, sharper than any E Ink screen today, and dedicated to one purpose alone: as a blank slate for creative tasks like writing or drawing. You could not play games on them, read books or magazines, or even view email or IMs as they had no connection to the World Wide Web. The flip side was that they were truly distraction-free in a way that iA Writer, reMarkable, and other modern tools fail to achieve in full.
