- atoav 3y agoDepends on which notes you take. I still have academic notes from 15 years ago that are useful.
- uxp8u61q 3y agoI'm an academic. Any kind of note that I didn't migrate to a durable support from more than a year ago is basically gone.
- atoav 3y agoI constantly have book X that I read ages ago where I need to find point Y. My notes are valuable for that. But I and my note-taking are not universal. But even if I it wasn't I don't like to think about the lifetime of any thought as I note it down. This os a distraction I don't need. If the closet with the notes in it fails, I want to be able to read them still.
- filchermcurr 3y agoSituational, I suppose. I still have an active project that's not quite 30 years old (it's mid-20's) that I reference old notes for all the time. Actually... I reference a lot of notes from at least 20 years ago. There is a lot that doesn't change, you forget, and is an instantaneous search away. I don't foresee this changing in the interim 10 years.
