Here’s a NYT piece which, if I remember correctly, first triggered interest (two years ago): https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/03/science/whats-lost-as-handwriting-fades.html?_r=0

Here’s a summary of one of the studies which I believe started to generate at least a segment of opinion which favours handwriting, especially in the young: http://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/were-only-human/ink-on-paper-some-notes-on-note-taking.html#.WSWd3zPlTMU

And here’s a recent journalistic update: http://mentalfloss.com/article/33508/4-benefits-writing-hand.

None of it conclusive, of course. And N.B. I’m not an academic. But, as I say, suggestive.

The first citation was of course three years ago!

Got a reMarkable, it’s great but ...

1. It lacks of connectivity, drag & drop on an app is soooo 2010. reMarkable should provide an IFTTT connector in order to sync files with DropBox, Google Drive and more ... You don’t want to think about copying a file to review

2. It lack of OCR, so yes it could be done in the cloud, but for that you need 1.)

Interesting review the other day from MACWORLD. They seemed impressed by it, found it was more like writing on paper than an iPad Pro is. But the $500 street-sale-price was deemed still too high.
