We live our lives with screens in our hands and on our desks. However, research shows that reading old-fashioned print as well as hand-writing helps us to better retain information. Our brain prefers analog mediums. Studies have shown that taking notes by longhand will help you remember important meeting points better than tapping notes out on your laptop. An experiment comparing two groups of people reading the same text in a book and on Amazon Kindle also showed that the “print group” gave more correct responses to a set of questions about the text.
