And also no backup of any kind. So if and when your precious dead-tree notebook is lost or stolen what are you going to do?
- psyc 4y agoWhy is this an inevitability? I'm almost 50 and I have every such notebook I've ever had since I was ~12. After approximately 20 moves. Know what I don't have? Most of my digital files going back that far. Who steals people's used notebooks? Or new ones?
- zimpenfish 4y agoI don't think it's "this is inevitable" as much as "losing small items like notebooks happens not infrequently to many people and is therefore statistically something to consider as a risk factor".

You can replace a phone, a driver license, but you cannot replace priceless imprint of your own thoughts and memories lost forever.

- cseleborg 4y agoWell, I did write that I nowadays store digital photos of my important notes. However... Like psyc, I still have notebooks around from my teenage years. What I no longer have are the recordings from my piano compositions from that same period. I did lose one notebook once. It had my email address in it, and the finder contacted me. Somehow, the handover failed. I was angry, but in all honesty, it hasn't affected my life a bit.
