Just because technology is going the way of touchscreens doesn't mean that the pad and pencil way will fall out of style anytime soon. Tech has given the act of physically writing something down an upgrade. There are several ways to make sure your meticulous Bio lab notes or intricate doodles make it to your computer without the hassle of taking a photo or scanning it into a blurry image. These three devices will help you transfer the physical to the digital with minimal effort.
If you've grown attached to jotting down notes or sketches in a notebook, you know how difficult it can be to get your entries onto the Internet. Draft is a service that aims to do away with blurry pictures of notebook pages. Every month, Draft will send you a new notebook and when you send it back in, they will email you a digital copy of your notes. The company organizes it by month and will drop your doodles in the Cloud for easy use.

Another useful alternative is the Livescribe 3 Smartpen, which takes anything you doodle and transfers it to your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device. Never lug around your heavy laptop to classes, meetings or conferences — just write down your notes and sketches with the smartpen and everything will be already in a digital format to edit or share.
If hands-free mode is more your thing, there is the Neurocam, which uses a head band, EEG senors and a smartphone to record the world around you. By attaching the phone at eye level, everything can be recorded from your perspective. Just don't expect to use it while you sleep through a lecture — the camera will only begin recording when the EEG sensors detects that a user is interested in what they are seeing.
