So, here is sit in the class. Teacher puts two
assignments up on the
screen. Really long instructions. Students are
writing down the
information like mad-men while he's still trying to
talk. I sit there
all relaxed without a care in the world. Just
listening and paying
attention. When he's done talking, I take my
cellphone, walk up and
snap a picture of the screen. I've got everything
I need--and even an
OCR converter for the text if I so want
it.

Everybody stares at me like I'm some alien with three eyes. One
by
one, they drop their pens and pencils down, grab their own
cellphones
and take pictures too.

Just a nice, gentle reminder that
laziness is the mother of invention.

Not something I agree with. For me,
writing something down longhand, and doing diagrammes at the same time,
as needed, 

gets the topic into my memory much more effectively. 

I
have poor memory for what comes in through my ears. 

What a camera
records is a picture of a lecture. What a pen records is the meanings of
the picture.
