Making notes in a quality book about all sorts of stuff just ‘feels’ good.
That’s cos of the value you’ve attached to it. It’s just paper, there’s no backup, you can’t email it to anyone else, you can’t copy and paste.. lots of disadvantages inreality. But you’ve imbued it with value, which is fair enough. The question is, why?
Depends which way you look at it ……. Correct, there’s no backup, but then again I have lost stuff on usb discs and hard drives from failure ! You can actually cut and paste though ! Copier machine and pritt stick! A notebook is always on…… No waiting for it to boot up or turn on….. And I defy anyone to take a note quicker by phone than opening a notebook and writing !
. Interesting for the digital generation there’s also a Moleskine Evernote version……. I’ve not personally used it but it looks interesting ….
It’s designed to link with Evernote via phone App…. So basically you photograph your page with the phone app , which can automatically sense certain things and subject tags and upload in searchable form to Evernote ……
So actually Molgrips it’s ends up in both ‘worlds ‘. and that software provides the link…….
I recently read an Article , Moleskines success in recent years was actually triggered from the digital world where the books were in demand from software geeky types ….. Which is interesting mixture of digital / analog world .
McHamish … It does actually help that I run an office supplies business , so I buy them in bulk at Trade price …. If you would like one I’d happily send you at cost from my stock. I tend to ‘forget ‘ to sell them to clients lol
I do use a phone for some short notes, but as poster said above some things sink in more writing them down .
