Yeah, you guys are right. Well, I guess I have a problem with variation and thinking too deeply about things... that's not good, folks. I think I should seriously try to find out if I have a problem because I just might.

You all have excellent points. I have an interesting question: Why are virtually all exams (still) on paper in this day and age?

I was just thinking about how high technology is changing certain aspects of life, such as education. A lot of things have been replaced, such as paper notebooks. The simple fact that I have to use the word 'paper' (I don't know what else to call them) to indicate that I mean 'notebooks notebooks' and not portable computers, says something about the present. When you search for 'notebook' on Google, you'll get instant results of portable computers, but not any results for paper notebooks that top the page. Of course I understand why, but that's not my point here. There are people who call me a nostalgic person because I prefer certain ways of the past centuries over certain ways of the present, including the use of pen and paper, while they wouldn't care about completely switching over to computers. There's something about writing with a pen on paper that seems to be more 'proper' for human beings than typing on a keyboard. That's just my opinion. I mean, nowadays, you have to combine writing on paper with writing on computers, while computers are taking over. To me, it's an annoying combination. I want the one over the other when it comes to certain things, but will that way of thinking be considered alright after a few years? Or am I thinking too deeply about this and the one who's wrong? I mean, for instance, will it be considered normal to be a computer scientist who keeps a paper notebook with him all the time in, let's say, 2030? Or will he be considered 'nostalgic' as well just because of that? And what about education: will it be considered normal to study by means of pen and paper out of physical books (if they would still exist LOL) in 2030? Or are those things that will never fade away? By the way, if you're gonna say, ''I don't think that such things will fade away 'completely'.'', I consider that faded away; it's over. Period. If it's faded away a little, it'll be faded away completely eventually. Otherwise, it wouldn't start growing silent, right? Something to think about, is it not? You tell me.
