Most kids can't use a keyboard and never will. Their Apple Pencil scribbles don't seem to make them particularly smarter.

Pen&pencil-> create something from (almost) nothing. Stylus input-> subpar slow interface for computation.

Ipad data storage above par organisational help (no loosing lousy stuffed in bag paper).

I kinda liked the AI to transpose handwritten/drawn notes into digitally orderable artifacts. Seen a couple Show HNs. Are there any advances in the field (preferably OSS or one time purchaseable as alternatively)

(To add on to this: the utter physical imprecision of stylis pens is annoying. I can FEEL where a sharpt tip of a tool that is elongating my hand touches a surface and how it moves on a very fine scale/resolution. Probably not a problem for people who have not developed highly sensitive sensomotor perception because they grew up with a lot of flattness in there surrounding and not much plasticity, but: my god are these things clumsy. I always want to reach for a sharpener when i use an apple pencil lol.

You can buy finer-tipped replacement caps for the mechanical pencil effect. Then there is the second problem: the texture of glass instead of paper.
