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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
