| Jun 7, 2021 at 19:36 | comment | added | Giuseppe Negro | I also started to use a tablet at the beginning of the pandemic. One of the stated benefits is that it allows to store handwritten notes without a massive accumulation of papers. I found out that this is a red herring, though. During last year I tended to store everything, even the more unintelligible jottings, and now I have a big mass of electronic junk which is next to useless. I switched back to take notes in Latex. | |

| May 30, 2021 at 13:23 | comment | added | Branimir Ćaćić | The latest generation of tablets and styluses (e.g., the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil 2 or the reMarkable 2) really are very good, to the point that someone used to writing with a fountain pen on paper can adjust with surprisingly little frustration. | |
| May 28, 2021 at 21:15 | comment | added | Pulcinella | For me a related change has been learning to make do with pdfs rather than printouts of papers, which after the adjustment period has definitely been a net positive, even ignoring paper waste. | |
| May 28, 2021 at 15:48 | comment | added | Neil Strickland | I still cannot write quickly and tidily on a tablet. I was much happier with paper and a visualiser, though I had to write extra software to get the visualiser snapshots on the web in semi-real time and organise them in a structured way. | |
