We do Civil Engineering and I have stacks of notebooks of calculations and decided I wanted to try using an ipad and stylus. Using Goodnotes, I can organize by job and create a new notebook for each plan check by date. Really enjoying not using a notebook every year as the paperwork was just getting out of hand, plus much more organized. I still use an RPN calculator, but slowly switching to spreadsheets. In this case digital works a lot better for me.

For archiving, some cities still have pen drafted mylar that sits in vaults. If you want to revise plans, go to City, check out the mylar with your life, use a razor blade to edit, pen with permanent ink and send back into the vault. New plans are plotted, but still to mylar.

With kids I am curious if they will learn how to handwrite. Will schools even teach how to read handwriting? Some interesting stuff as more goes digital and type printed.

Pen, Pencil, paper still has very great uses.

I still remember getting my first paycheck after graduating and buying a Breitling 15 years ago because I liked the logo. And got a cheaper Rolex when I started my first company.

We were watching a TV show where someone gets a Patek as a gift and told my significant other that's a really expensive watch. She had no idea. Then I went onto explain how cool different mechanical watches are because you can hear the different movements tick. She didn't think so.

I wore a fitbit for the last week.

I was looking for similar as well. Have an 8 month old and plopped him down to watch the intro video and he looked pretty interested. Looks like a bunch of different learning all at once, why not try to teach algebra at an early age, or whatever the thimble website is getting at with how early a kid can start learning to code? I am running a small business and don't have the time I use to have, mucking around for parts trying to nickel and dime everything. Civil Engr over here who wants his kid to engage in this kind of stuff instead of handing a tablet over for him to watch youtube cartoons.

I was a college freshman going from home dial up BBS's to a major university's internet speeds. Ripped a bunch of CD's to that Diamond Rio and loved running instead of using my tape player to make running playlists. I remember some type of way to reencode the mp3's in Windows on the fly to fit more on the tiny storage. I think Apple getting their connection into aftermarket car radios at the time was a big factor in a universal standard which made having an iPod almost necessary for people driving. My standout MP3 players were the Diamond Rio and Creative Muvo 4GB. The smaller iPod mini was really nice for running though.

Got a Canon ink jet and a third party tank. Win win. Never ever will go with HP again, after buying the biggest POS HP inkjet printer. First printer shipped broken. Second wouldn't feed paper after a year. Not to mention the color ink drying out. Brother Laser is amazing. I am a small business owner, Civil Engineering firm, that prints plans constantly. Epson may have the future locked up for those who print large scale plans. Otherwise Canon and Brother all the way.

Very much so. Early on in our Prime experience about 2 years ago one of the delivery men, after dropping off the package, went back to the van, whipped it out and started peeing in the street. All while our neighbors kids were playing in the front yard. I thought twitter would be a good place to contact Amazon's support, and they didn't seem to care. That guy never delivered again, but no real response to my concerns was a bit creepy to say the least.

Otherwise packages come from all makes and models of cars over the last 6 months. Still pretty cool to get most things same day delivery cheaper than me driving to Fry's for a piece of hardware. I don't see how they make money though and compete in the long run after VC runs out.
