    Paper vs Digital: The Ultimate Dilemma – The Schedule [multi-part] Part 1

    What I Mean. Defining: Paper vs Digital Paper – better said as analog this represents the more or less “real” things in our lives that we work or interact with. This could be as simple as writing your schedule out or reading a book (printed on paper) from the library. This could be as complex…
