Some lovely notebook images and thoughts about why we still love paper, and in fact may love paper even more because our lives have gone digital.

From the article:

“If you find yourself dependent on notebooks, even if much of your work is online, you are part of a growing number of people who are finding paper journals an important part of their workflow. I know it’s certainly the case for me. (Last week I spent a half and hour organizing my old journals from the past 3 years. I label what’s inside on a Post-it on the inside cover for quick reference so I can find specific notes if I need them again in the future.) I use notebooks for both organizing work projects and also jotting down inspiring quotes, ideas and as my personal journal, so I fill them up pretty quickly, and I find them incredibly important to my life — even though I work online all day. But that’s maybe why I feel I “need” the notebooks so much — precisely because so much of what I write isn’t physical. As NPR reports, famous notebook maker Moleskine has been enjoying double-digit growth over the last few years, even as more and more people go online and use apps to organize their lives. In fact, the company even found that they had higher sales of notebooks in locations that were close to Apple stores, which suggests that paper journals are seen by many as a necessary accompaniment to their digital lives.”
