There is an incredible and admirable amount of passion about the written word, as opposed to the typed word.

Thanks for all the comments folks.

@colinwalker Chiming in a bit late here but I find if I write a list of things I need to remember on paper I don’t usually have to refer to it again. Digital lists are different. They don’t lodge in my brain as easily. Writing things down makes a stronger connection in my experience.

@stefp Absolutely. Writing things down is excellent for the memory which is why it's always good to summarise things when revising for exams.
