The surprising rediscovery of handwritten notes, by Josep Maria Fonalleras

A few weeks ago, the Autonomous University of Catalonia he suffered a computer attack from which he is slowly recovering. It seems that normality will not return to the UAB until the end of the year because the wound does not heal and because the damage caused is of such magnitude that it calls for a period of reconstruction of the technical epidermis, a detailed review of the internal networks and a considerable raising of the threshold of protection for the future. It seems to be, from what I have read, that “Students can choose to take notes by hand & rdquor ;. It is fascinating to see how what a few years ago was normal, everyday and inexcusable (because there were no more possibilities available) is now considered as an almost pedestrian and unusual alternative, but useful. If you walk through any classroom of any university in the country you will see that all the students (or almost all, now I would not want to hurt the sensibilities of the artisans) they take class notes with the computer. It is sure that they are more legible than before (if you were not an expert in hieroglyphic writing you could not decipher them), but it is also true that they have lost the detail of the traced and highlighted text, the soul of the class accentuated with the stroke of the hand.
