There are times I have to present in meetings and share my computer screen, so I can’t really take notes using my laptop.
I learned cursive & it enables me to take faster hand-written notes as people comment or ask questions. That’s just a personal anecdote, I know, but fwiw I do use it on a regular basis but I realize that’s not applicable to most folks.
I really like hand written notes, especially since I can draw whatever I may need to help supplement the notes (graphs/arrows/boxes). Writing in print is so much slower and tiring than cursive, I will do whatever I can to not write in print. Also, I find my handwriting in cursive is far neater than print. I'm not sure the extent others can read it and am disappointed computers have a much harder time reading cursive into text.
This is funny, because you're essentially saying you write cursive because you can't use a computer properly.
It's so easy to share specific windows in OBS, lol.
They're not saying that at all. Also, calm the fuck down and mind your manners.
For real it's shocking how aggressive people are being in this thread.
Umm, that is what they're saying lol.
Lol, take your own advice.
They said they were using "their laptop"
Which has limited screen real estate
