The evolution of note-taking: from paper to AI
We will not go into the times of rock art when primitive people tried to make notes about their lives. Three dashes, two zigzags - and their whole life was like a picture. But time passed, the printing press was invented, books became available, and every schoolboy had a set of notebooks with a pen in his backpack. Let us dwell on this point in more detail.
At some point in history, we were happy that we had the opportunity to buy a notebook and write whatever we wanted in it. We wrote down important thoughts, observations, and schedules in it. Then we had options. Older readers may remember what the first computers were like.

Bulky, and slow, they seemed like the pinnacle of human ingenuity. But they also contained electronic documents, with which a fraction of humanity instantly began to take notes. Step forward a few more decades, and we see a new evolutionary leap: notes are now created using voice and AI in the Voiset app.

Benefits of notes taken with AI
1. No additional accessories except the digital device. Install Voiset on your phone, then you'll always have it at your fingertips. Yes, the modern man does not part with his phone, but why not use it for good?
2. Convenience of data entry. To make a paper note, you need to find a certain convenient place. You need to find a pen, the notebook itself and put it on something. Your position must be well fixed, or it will be impossible to write, etc. With Voiset, you just dictate information: while driving, on the train, jogging, standing in line, etc.;
3. Always at your fingertips. Open in a couple of clicks and never get lost;
4. Interact with you. The information you enter is no longer something static. Your schedule and each of your tasks become AI interacting with you: notes automatically move into tasks and choose the date, time, and workspace themselves. It's amazing, isn't it?
5. Perfect structuring. AI always has everything in order, which is not the case with our regular notes!

Advantages of traditional paper notes
1. more vibe. Every fan of paper notes will tell you about it: the smell of a new diary, the sound with which it opens, the sound with which the pen writes on the paper, etc. All these feelings are strong and partly nostalgic, which is why some people are not ready to give up paper diaries;
2. The opportunity to draw anything. Whether you want to draw a graph or a picture with a raccoon in the margins, in paper notes it is possible!
3- More privacy. There is no risk of accidentally leaking data from your diary/notebook. But there is a risk that tampering will occur knowingly by people who find the notebook;
4. Better memorization of information. Almost everyone knows this: it is handwritten input that improves memorization of information. So if you want to memorize your schedule, handwrite it;
5. You will understand the information better. When we write something by hand, we understand the written lines better.

Feature comparison: AI notes or paper notes?
β
β
AI-compiled notes are ideal in terms of functionality. You have several ways to enter information. It takes seconds to correct the information. The information will be stored for as long as you need it.
In terms of functionality, paper notes are inferior to those created by AI.
To enter information, you need to find a horizontal support and a pen, to correct information - to cross out the previous one. This often results in blotches in the manuscript. In terms of information storage, paper media are a good solution: under the right conditions, notepads can be stored for hundreds of years.

User preferences and practical considerations
It is your needs that should determine which note option you will use.
Usually, notes created with AI are chosen by people who live an active life. They have a lot of time and know how to plan their days and their time. They know the value of each hour of their life. They have certain goals, to the realization of which they systematically go day by day.
Paper notes are more often chosen by emotionally involved people. They often seek tranquility, activity will be preferred to everyday life. They will always have time to set aside a couple of hours on the weekend to make a schedule by hand.
What is more in line with your personality? What kind of lifestyle would you like to lead? When you answer these questions, you'll probably know right away whether you need to download Voiset or order a new paper agenda from Amazon.

Future trends in note-taking technology
We are gradually moving away from using paper notebooks. The trend is simple: optimize your life so that you have time for everything. Apps fulfill more and more functions, making our lives easier and more joyful. Those psychological difficulties that humans have are not experienced by AI. And this, strangely enough, is a plus! AI will not grieve with you because you need to go to the dentist. It will simply set that visit for Tuesday, for example, and will also idly remind you of it!
We are typing and handwriting less and less. We are increasingly comfortable leaving voice messages, including for AI. Our lives are very busy. Everything around us is developing, so the old methods of outlining and organizing this life don't work. That's why Voiset came into being - it's the answer to today.
