I wonder how note-taking should evolve in the digital age. I take handwritten notes during meetings and later type them up. People who can type fast on laptops (I cannot) and who can take them to class (allowed in college, but not in all high schools?) may use them to take notes, although they may need to transcribe diagrams on paper.

I'd rather be given a handout and write notes on that than take notes from scratch, but that depends on the instructor distributing her lecture notes. How do college students take notes nowadays?
