Drafting on a tablet still doesn't beat paper for me

Tried using a Samsung tablet with a stylus for a job last week. Paper still won for speed and accuracy. That tablet kept glitching on me. Has anyone else gone back to the old way after trying digital?

Glad you tried it out but a tablet glitching is more about the specific device or app than digital writing itself. The stylus technology on older Samsungs can be a bit laggy compared to something like an iPad or a newer model. That said, paper still has that physical feedback digital just can't copy. The way the pen drags across actual paper has a certain friction and feel that helps with handwriting control. You might also be fighting with screen protectors that mess with the pen tip's glide. So yeah, for pure speed and accuracy in a pinch, paper usually wins. But a good digital setup can get real close once you dial in the right tools.

Wait, isn't the friction on paper what actually slows you down though?
