Yes, people don't realize that truckers (who are transporting goods and equipment) still use paper a lot for official permits and info. In my country, they were among the earliest demographics to adopt pagers, then mobile phones, but a

A Galaxy Note device will permanently solve this use case. I love paper, and use it (and fountain pens), but my Galaxy Note with S-Pen made the process of signing and sending legal documents far more pain-free. Open PDF, sign, re-save, send

Yet, over the years, I've only had one or two break. I have years-old Motorola micro usb cables that still work perfectly, and which are still in use. They were not all garbage.
