This is good advice. Just a few days ago I randomly stumbled upon a youtube video where someone was using — blast from the past, here — a hunk of green bar line printer paper as a big scratch pad to write on. It made me wonder how I ever got out of that habit. That stuff, when it was ubiquitous, was the best scratch paper ever, and I used to do it all the time when I was young and, one would think, at my cognitive peak. Maybe falling out of that habit is part of my percieved decline.
- rightbyte 4y agoI would want one of these Etch'n'Sketch but with a pen and some higher resolution. The variant where you pull a lever to reset it. Whiteboard markers are too wide and I am left handed so I erase as a write. And using paper makes it feel like I am wasting paper.
- gapan 4y agoThose things exist. You press a button instead of pulling a lever. Search for "drawing tablet" or "writing tablet". I've got a 20" one by Xiaomi, but there are lots to choose from, very inexpensive too.
- pohl 4y agoDoes that really work out, with regards to waste? I mean, does something with a circuit board, a battery, an LCD screen, a case, a stylus, and a limited lifespan really end up being greener than renewable, recyclable, compostable plant fiber?
- rightbyte 4y agoEtch'n'Sketch doesn't have batteries right? Or am I remembering wrong.
