I'm always playing attention

Never take notes. They're worthless. Either you'll retain the information or you won't.
After more thought: lectures are terrible for students.

As intuitive as tablets/laptops are they still require attention to be used and a great deal of visual interaction. Jotting down notes is fare easier and can be done virtually reflexively and without watching.
If I take notes I give 90% attention to the lecture and 10% to the notes... with a laptop it's at most 50-50.

A pen is all well and good but will it tell you the result of last race at Newmarket or the latest cricket scores? Will it let you read your email? Will it let you watch cat videos? I think not.
People should think a little harder before making such sweeping statements about ... hang on, have you seen the story that's just come up about people having decreasing attention spans?
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Been arguing this for a while now, I retain information from hand writing notes better than typing. Still hasn't helped me get hardware for transcribing said notes to any form that others can use. In fact the studies just cause heels to be dug in even more.
To be honest, I'm curious if it is because I grew up with pen and paper and will the same hold true for younger generations.

You could have 'unbreakable' security without taking a speed hit. That's assuming you can get the cat to listen to you

No need for any actual person to obtain quotes from either.
Here's how it works, "According to sources..."
That proves it. It is definitely true because our sources are experts.

Nobody would read it if it told the truth. Apparently the truth is boring.

But is the cat listening? Do we have to open the box to find out?

Researchers have used a simple inkjet printer to print a "bio-ink" of cyanobacteria onto a conductive surface, creating a biophotovoltaic cell. They still need to figure out what to do with the magentobacteria and yellobacteria
It was either that, or "We shall call them bacteries". Running a little low on humour in the Insider cube this month.

computers get viruses and printers get bacteria? white collar workers prepare for a new meaning to the medical term "staff" infection.
