The few occasions I need to write things down are when I'm out somewhere else. Why would I need to write something down at home? I'm at home! If I'm out, those notepads can take up a lot of space and tend to get stuff all over them, so why bother with that? The phone's touch pad is clunky, I'll grant you, but it's a lot more convenient, and it's stored online so I can access it basically from whatever device I want after that. I just can't really picture a good use for a notepad in my life.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
