I am on something of a crusade to get people off of technology and into a journal writing mode instead. It is so easy to scan handwritten pages and upload the scanned images as email attachments, as well as postings at blogs, social sites, networking sites, class web sites, and so forth.
Technology is a convenient medium of information exchange but there is something special about immersing oneself in a hand written page. Similarly there is something special about listening to an audio recording of a human reading aloud some written work.
There’s something extra special about reading and listening to information flow communicated raw into an unforgiving journal notebook or audio voice recorder.
Websites devoted to such raw original works are treasure troves of interesting information.
