Paper is real, so it is uninhibited by the limitations imposed by the imagination of the programer. For note taking, with a pen I cam easily transcribe math formulas. I cant do that with a txt editor. Ok, so I switch to org-mode and become a tex mode guru. There's still no easy way to make a geometric drawing. So now I have a tablet. The stylus feels weird, the tablet heavy. The resolution much lower than paper, the GUI, the battery life abysmal compared to paper, the latency anodyne. But sure, it does everything paper can do. ... that is until I crease the paper to make a geometric figure freed from the limitations of compass and straight edge constructions, a cube [1], a crane to flirt with my neighbor, a bottle opener [2], a makeshift knife [3] or to use as kindling.

[3] really sucks at this, but I did slice an apple with a sheet of printer paper once
