Subjective. You must have paper and pen on hand.
Don't have any numbers as to how many people still carry around pen and paper but a cursory look at people standing in lets say a Costco line will result in numerous people staring at a smartphone. You won't see much pen and paper.
Thats too much of straw man argument for you to be serious, so I hope you weren't trying to be. I can't think of many people that will carry a notebook into Costco, but they carry their phones so they can receive their incredibly important calls when they're shopping. Waiting in line, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone doing anything overly constructive. Most likely, they're playing Candy Crush, updating their waste of time Facebook page, or at the very least texting friends. In other words, they're passing the time. If the situation was reversed and they didn't have their phone with them but they did have a notebook, I doubt you'd see them doodling as they stand there, or jotting something they're going to bring up when they see their friend later. A notebook isn't convenient for passing time. A phone is. I think that given the choice between doing something productive with that phone or doing something like playing a game or sending someone a cat meme, the latter wins out.
All the tech? What are you on about? People who would download the Wunderlist app already have the tech, and learning curve is part of the deal.
I'm not sure where you're trying to go with that, because its more than a little disingenuous. You snipped out the part of the paragraph that put that quote in context. I have nothing against technology. I have a disdain for when people get into it for the sake of the tech alone. Its glaringly obvious with the rush to get into apps that do things you don't need apps for. My statement stands: each person has to make their own judgement weighing the costs against the benefits. I just wish people understood better when they really had a benefit. That is what I'm "on about".
AllThat's obvious and a ridiculous comparison. People are more inclined to pay attention to an expensive device.
Another straw man. At issue wasn't whether people would pay more attention to their iOS device, but rather that a loss or theft of that device is a cataclysm compared to losing a piece of paper. I'm simply stating the fact: you're going to be a lot more torn up about losing an iOS device vs losing a piece of paper. If I have something valuable on a piece of paper, its in my pocket, and then it goes through the wash, it'll bother me but not as much as if that info was on my iPhone and it went through the wash. As much as people hover over their phones, put them in hardshell cases, and panic when they can't have them in their hands, accidents happen. Theft happens. Phones get misplaced. If people are so busy that they think they need multiple apps to manage their life, then there is a pretty good chance they'll be without their phone - for whatever - reason at some point. Car keys and wallets are arguably more important than cell phones, and people lose those regularly.
Of course, they could put Tiles on each of those items. There's an app for that.
