Police carry digital video cameras now, not notebooks. Writing is only faster if you don't know how to type, which is a useful skill that is relevant today and should be taught. Envelopes and writing on them (and MS Word, for that matter) are more of the same last-century anachronisms. Why are we teaching new people paper-based skills at all? Paper is useless outside of visual art.
