In a word - perfect. Makes a great complement, allows you to look things up, stay connected, but you’re not staring at a huge screen the whole time. Doesn’t allow for full boat note taking, but i think that is a good thing. Also does not really allow for extended
complex sentences (somewhat - i’m pretty fast on the keyboard but I’d be faster with keys). Certainly my own attention is much greater compared to using a laptop.
Productivity? Well, i’m actually posting something to ye olde blogge. Would it be faster on my laptop, absolutely. However, I usually have something else to do that takes precedence. I really love being able to capture my downtime (while also paying attention).
Curious to see how mobile devices play out as more traditional computing replacements outside of enterprise - like in academia. i’m pretty sure i’d prefer students to use small devices that dont suck away attention entirely. After my panel (culture) I’m heading to the learning 2.0 panel. From what I hear in the enterprise panels, primary & secondary learning is becoming quite collaborative,which is a bit odd to even those of ulus who are not so old.
Obviously written on iPhone. Forgive all mistakes and reductionist thought.
