I'm going to tell you why I love this thing.
You get the feeling of the old world with all the modern benefits.
Story time.
Thousands of years ago, they used to write with swords and sticks.
Now I mean, the ancient Romans had wax tablets and styluses, but they were fragile and you had limited space to write.
Then, came the Renaissance.
Mr. Shakespeare wrote with a quill pen and ink well on parchment paper.
There's a real charm to that, you know.
Fast forward to the 1800s.
Well, they had high capacity printing presses and they invented fountain pens with internal ink reservoirs and they used rag paper.
But this, the future of paper.
Then, personal computer was invented and having a laptop in high school made it very convenient to take notes, but it's just something about pen to paper.
That's why I love this thing.
It's the best of both worlds.
You get the experience of analog, the efficiency of digital.
It's pretty remarkable.
Centuries of progress in writing has brought us to this moment. Meet @reMarkable, the paper tablet.
