I have used typewriters, keyboard and pen & paper through all my life. Typewriters are out but, pens and keyboards are still there.

I carry two notebooks with me every day. My scratchpad and my diary. Yes, writing on them are more elaborate and slow, but this speed limit creates a feedback loop in my head, making me think twice and write once. As a result, I write more concise and clear. I also remember more when I write with pen and paper.

Keyboard allows more speed, but it's unfiltered, blurry, and not devoid of interruptions.

I'm planning to blog on this very subject with references to actual research, actually, because I can see and feel the difference.
