In a more perfect world: there would be a personal coffee droid hovering a few meters from my head, like a mobile keurig that dispenses coffee, and shoots cookies like a pez dispenser.
Ahh, an idiot can dream.
The negative points are pretty much why I haven’t used paper notebooks very much since my teens. Having a pile of stuff to sort, revise, and remove the cruft from: is a problem that doesn’t scale. Or as I like to remember: after about three binders, I’m pretty much done and hate dealing with heaps of folders.
Most of the advantages I sought came from having a digital file system. Typewriters never really did it for me the way text edited and word processors do. But as a consequence of funneling everything down the word hole: you lose the freedom of the page.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed about having tablets is the ability to have my tablet alongside as I work. Lean over, and swipe words into my textual notes, and then shift back to my work. Evernote also works pretty well in that it optimizes for the more word processor like nature of many of my work notes, yet makes it easy to merge disparate bits of information from external resources. Including handwriting, images, documents, scripts, etc.
Tablets open up greater ease to get off the beaten path of the word processor: while retaining the ability to keep it as simple as WordStar. Especially when you have both a stylus and a keyboard available to aide your note taking.
The problem with digital reminders: notification systems.
The problem with paper reminders: which stack is my notepad in?
And then there’s times where the upper limit on human multitasking collides with actual task counts 🙁

I’ve always wondered somewhat, just how much consideration was really put into using one orbiter to rescue another. Because, it’d probably be nice not to be blind sided when the problem is closer to needing a flying tow truck than a memorial service.
In history though, I reckon the latter is how things turned out for NASA. Over the course of a hundred and thirty five launches: only two shuttles and their crews were lost. Catastrophic failures were the only true failures is probably a fair statement.
Actually, that’s a pretty good success rate if you ask me.
More than a hologram: Star Wars-inspired tech you can buy right now
Move over George Jetson, and let the wookie win!
Watching a commercial for Google’s Nest Hub, and thinking a moment how this might evolve. Much as the phonograph gave way to the iPod and MP3 player, what might come of such hubs in people’s lives.
My last thought was of President Scroob, shouting: “This is an unlisted wall!”, in Spaceballs. Because in the future that’s how things work.
Whiskey might not be the solution to all problems, but I have to admit that a shot glass makes a damned fine refillable portion size.
Combined with one’s favorite anime isn’t a bad idea either.
For the most part, battery life has not been a problem with this tablet.
I’m pretty sure that the optimal algorithm for maximizing number of dogs in a space is a quasi linear arrangement.
Until you get up, and then it’s whoever claims the warm spot first, lol
