Although I am someone who wholeheartedly embraces tech in almost every aspect of life, there are still some areas where I have not fully replaced my analog methods for digital ones. For instance, although I love my ipod touch, I still manage to use a Moleskine notebook to record my to do’s, my ideas, and my contacts. I absolutely love this form of analog data storage because wherever I am, I know I can record information quickly and without worrying about whether my battery will run out mid sentence. Now, don’t get me wrong, my ipod touch is AMAZING! I love playing games, surfing the web, and checking my email when I am away from my laptop, but call me old fashioned- I enjoy the action of writing more so than the tapping of my fingertip upon a screen. The tactile sensation is like none other!
In actuality the use of a Moleskine notebook has been a practice I have only recently acquired. My freshman year of high school I used a Handspring pda and once I graduated had gone through 2 more Palm pdas. In college, however, I began to rely less on my digital devices for recording homework and test days and began taking these notes directly into a notebook. Gradually, I decided to simplify my note-taking by buying a small notebook to store everything in. Since then, my Moleskine has been my major organizational method as I regard it more as a tool for productivity then my ipod touch, whose many distractions actually keep me from getting work done!
Together though, my Moleskine and my ipod touch make for a great pair, a balance of analog and digital, productivity and amusement that I simply could not live without!
