The unique role of paper in my digitalized life

Working in IT for all my career in various roles people always challenged me why do I make notes on paper when I am either selling or implementing technology based solutions.

The comments seemed to put this as a black and white situation – whereas I, a representative of IT can’t and shouldn’t be using any flagship product of a former era.

Well I don’t see it as black and white. A lot of things – like email and chat will of course go online and i will not long for writing a letter every time I want to reach out to a friend – but against all odds I will continue to write on paper when it comes to things I need to remember. Even just scraping abstracts of sociological studies like this one I can see that most researches cherish the co-existence of digital and chirographic writing – and for me this is more than enough of a reason to keep doing what I am today.

So if you need a deeper experience with the content you put on paper I suggest you grab a pen too!
