I never learned to use a slate and stylus until I was in college, at school we always used Braille writers. I learned very quickly that my slate skills were woefully inadequate in college, so learned to use sometimes only one word to recall a whole section of a lecture.
I was in college in the early 1970's so laptops, and note-takers were not an option. I bet if I wanted to do it all over again my Braille Note would be a godsend. Only thing that holds me back, is math, even with a calculator I am number phobic.
