After reading this article I have decided that I both agree and disagree with this passage. Yes, I agree that taking handwritten notes is better and you can remember things in a more advanced way if you write them down, but I do not agree with the fact that taking handwritten notes is faster because it is different for different people. For me, I type faster than I write by hand. For some people, the whole article could be wrong. They could know things easier if they type them rather than writing them. All people are unique and I know that especially if I am learning a new language that taking and written notes are best for me. But typing I can do faster whether it is n a computer or a phone I can write faster typing then I can handwrite something. Of course, there are certain things that work better. I do not prefer something over the other I just believe each serves a different purpose.

Obviously, I am no authority but I am skeptical. Only recently have tablets become fast enough to be as responsive as physical paper with an electronic pen. Previously tablets worked but not in an equivalent way to paper. I preferred paper over tablets a couple years ago, but now I definitely prefer tablets. They are amazing and much better than paper. The latest tablets are easier to use than paper because you can make instant corrections and move text easily. You can highlight and change colors much more quickly than physical products with paper….. For this study, I wonder why it took 25% longer for people to write the same notes on a tablet than paper? Many people are not familiar with tablet writing apps and many tablet writing apps are not full of useful features (are the tablets the latest tablets too?). Certainly tablets can be set up into individual pages to be like individual pages of paper. The latest tablets, apps and electronic pens have finally matured to match and even exceed the usefulness of paper, in my opinion. The conclusion of this study seems comparable to saying a typewriter is more useful than a word processing program on a computer. The best tablets and electronic pens (starting two years ago) work now like word processing programs.
