I smell a fake. Paper was in existence and used for a thousand
years before 1815 and blackboards were never really an alternative
AFAIK.

Until fairly recently (late 18th century anyway) paper was too
expensive for kids to use tho.

Young people don't use paper as much. They use their phones to take
notes.

What phone? I don't carry a phone! My phone lives on my desk like a
good phone should.

John Kuthe...

That's fine if your life revolves around your desk. Mine doesn't.

Not at all. If I wasn't carrying a phone, I wouldn't need one. My home
phone now is redundant since I took up mobiles 2 decades+ ago. The only
reason I have a home phone is that it is part of a default bundled
internet plan. People can now reach me whereas it was nigh on impossible
with only a home phone available. It has to be said, I make very few
outgoing calls, even now. Just Doctor appointments, travel arrangements,
etc.
