There are quite a lot of temptations when we choose digital notebook to take notes. Internet and social media are the two biggest temptations. Instead of taking notes, we are doing something else, such as checking our Facebook account and looking at pictures on Instagram. Even when there is no internet connection, digital notebook remains a distraction. For example, it is very likely that we will be tempted to play the installed games. It's completely different with pen and paper notebook. With only those two in front of us, there is no temptation. Thus, we will focus more on taking notes. Notebooks - Products of Uprint.id

2. Unlike typing, writing encourages us to think Many studies have shown that when we take notes by typing on our digital notebook, we transcribe information without processing and analysing the information first. We listen, but we do not think. What about writing? Writing is slower compared to typing. However, when writing, we think because we don't write down every single word. We tend to be selective, we jot down only important information. Each of us has our own writing style. For example we use marks and symbols that nobody else can understand but ourself.
