Thing 5 Notetaking

I have downloaded "Remember the Milk" onto my device and I can see where this may be handy.  You can just click on the app (after you have entered some tasks) and it gives you a list of things not to forget.  The calendar isn't that specific--just gives the day, no times, but my calendar isn't that full anyway.  I have a notetaking app on my device and that is okay also--you can write with your finger or type.  Right now, I have note pads at both home and work so if I want to make a grocery list or jot an address down (or at work write down a book to order for someone), I just use the real thing.  Perhaps in a paperless society, I'll have to resort to a screen.  I do not have a smart phone, but I imagine this app would be nice for that.  Many people just carry their cell phone around in their pocket, so they could just use it to jot down those miscellaneous notes.  Some of the apps seem like they would be good for students who need to take notes for a class--maybe they can organize them by courses and units.  I do not have that situation.
In conclusion, though I may in the future find reasons to use this app, for now I plan to stick with paper and pencil.  For me, it is faster and handier than the device--paper fits into my pocket and I can write faster than I can type on my little device.
