Handwriting can have huge benefits. The NSA can't read it the instant you write it - in fact I don't think anyone can read mine except for me. I don't even need an key or passphrase to protect it.

I have an even better setup - nobody can read my handwriting, including me. So it's literally Write Only Memory. Not sure what the applications for this are though...

Often taking notes increases recall and understanding, rather than the value of simply having the notes. So the value is in the process of writing, rather than the written end product.
