Disagree. I'm still writing all important notes with a pen and paper. Don't get me wrong, I use apps like Evernote or now Notion for daily use, but at the end most of the information there mostly are not revisited after several weeks. Even I usually forgot where I put my notes there.
On the other hands, I write many important notes, business ideas, drawings, or sketches in my paper notebook. I always remember which notebook I put the note about a thing.
Also, the paper notebook is great. No need batteries, no hang/lag, and no need internet.
I would like to use my ipad more for notes, but honestly note taking apps just suck. Procreate is the only app I've used that comes close to capturing what it's like to write on paper, but it's really not designed for that use case. The rest of my writing goes into google docs, commit messages, and markdown files. I am using paper less over time, but I think that may just be a side effect of my work atm.
> For the bulk of us, pen and paper are becoming obsolete. We are quickly embracing digital alternatives because they are more efficient and easy to use.
Bullshit. After trying all kinds of "digital alternatives" for note-taking, I went back to pen-and-paper. As a tool, it's more flexible, balanced, and easy-to-use than alternatives. Plus, hand-creating a physical artifact allows one to utilize natural memory for manipulating physical objects (e.g. remembering the information I need is "on the bottom-half of a page roughly in X location, next to a diagram of Y").
Digital technologies are unbalanced tools optimized to favor a particular use case (e.g. fast entry of only text, bulk reproduction, fast transmission, etc.) at the expense of others (e.g. tool-weight, complexity, overstrict schemas, difficulty composing different types of things).
