You're only supposed to write 20% of the time (so, like 5% of the material) when you hand-write notes.

This doesn't work well in certain classes (e.g. math classes where you have to copy every word of a proof and analyze it later).

Being a human photocopier in maths/physics lectures was the worst thing about university, when you're 6 blackboards behind. That was in 1999, hopefully it's changed now.
