Kind of a broad question. I wonder why people take notes - Is it for studies or learning? Is it just to remember things? Is it to make your own map of your knowledge? Is it because you just want a place to vent out your feelings into the void?

What do you use to accomplish that? App? Paper? A chat room?

    I’m in college so I take notes on every lecture. Not only does it help me remember things in the moment, it’s easy to go back in the future and study for tests. I use MS word and my laptop, mostly because I type a lot faster than I write. Yes, I do know that writing has been proven to be more effective, but my handwriting is really bad and I just cannot write fast enough to take quality notes. I’d much prefer to forget something while studying and be able to quickly go back and understand it, as opposed to my handwriting where I can barely read it hours after I wrote it.
