NBR late night poll: writing vs. typing

If you had to take notes for a class or for work, would you prefer to write them out by hand or type??

Re: NBR late night poll: writing vs. typing

  • Me: type. I type about 80 words a minute, much faster than I can write neatly.

  • I would prefer to type them. I also type faster than I can write.
  • These days....type.  It's much faster than writing for me.
  • Type. I can't stand when my writing is sloppy like it gets when I freehand notes.
  • I type very fast.  In high school, I typed faster than my typing teacher.
  • i'm a writer and i take notes all day long by hand. i really want one of those laptops where you can write on the screen and it saves your handwriting document as a pdf.

    I have a tablet PC that my school district bought for all the teachers. It's great.

  • i'd write then type. i'm weird like that.I don't have a lap top so I really don't have a choice..
  • Type because my hand gets tired too fast when writing.

  • I was going to say typing as I'm a fast typer but... I think if it's something that I was trying to learn, I would take handwritten notes.  You can draw arrows, boxes, write small info. next to a point made earlier in a lecture.  Maybe this goes back to the fact that I had an electronic typewriter when I was in college... computer, what's that?  internet, I think you can get that if you go up to the computer lab.
  • Type, hands down.

    jealous! do you love it? dh insists they're buggy. don't know how he would know that as neither of us have one. 

  • type.

    apart from grocery lists, I can't remember the last time I hand-wrote anything.

  • I do both for work. If I'm doing an interview on the phone, I type verbatim into a file, but I type 120 wpm, so that's not a big deal.

    When I'm at a meeting or doing an in-person interview, I take written notes. I have a graphic (not photographic) memory. I remember anything I write.

  • Definitely write.  I am a doodler and usually make "to do" lists while taking notes.
