But both of those statements are true, and for the same reason. A calculator isn't a human brain capable of doing math, and writing isn't the same thing as a computer. They're different things.
I can give a 5th grader a calculator and he's not passing college calculus. I can even give him a whole ass PC and he still isn't.
As for writing, again, it's its own thing with its own benefits.
I still write all my notes, because it helps me remember. There's something specifically about using my hands on paper that makes things stick better in my brain. It's less convenient than computer notes, and much harder to organize. But they accomplish different goals. They're not for reference, no, I usually don't ever read my notes again.
