I tried going back to writing in cursive and I was shocked at how different the process of writing was. When writing in script you have to think in terms of whole words. Writing in print is an atomic experience, one latter at a time. And of course once you get good at it you can probably write faster in cursive.
If I were doing my math and Econ classes today I would absolutely use an ipad. Not only can you draw diagrams along with the notes, you can take a picture of the whiteboard or someone else’s notes and extract the text out it. Then later on you can type up the notes to reintegrate (hah!) what you were writing down. Then you could use LaTex or whatever other markup system you want while thinking about the subject matter.
- bee_rider 3y agoThe feeling of writing on glass is just so overwhelmingly unsatisfying. The nice friction of a good pencil on good paper is like half of the experience, right?
- flylikeabanana 3y agoThere are screen protectors with a rough/matte finish that provide some of the friction you'd get from paper. It's not exactly the same, but it's a discrete step above writing on raw glass
- the-mitr 3y agoOr the feeling of a very well calibrated/smoothed fountain pen on a nice quality paper, the way the nip slides on the paper effortlessly, yet following obediently slight nudges in pressure and tilts of the fingers to create the shapes that you want.
- lanstin 3y agoRemarkable is great writing experience, very nice friction, but the notes end up being more like paper notes than equation edit notes.

- fragmede 3y agoRemarkable2 might be up your alley then. it's a like digital piece of paper.
- Semaphor 3y agoI can't confirm that, I always think in whole words when typing. This goes so far that my brain sometimes gets too far ahead, and I start typing homophones.
- NegativeK 3y agoThis is all anecdotal, but ditto. I'll typo words into similarly written but completely unrelated words. At this point, after decades of typing, I'm not thinking word by word -- the sentence is entering my brain and my fingers are unthinkingly spitting it out. Writing by hand is much slower, but it's similar. I only think about letters or even individual words when I screw up.
