Picture this: You’re in a classroom, desperately typing away, trying to
write down everything your droning professor says about ancient Incan
bridge weavers. Then you get home that night, and can't remember a single
thing he said.

According to research by Pam Mueller, a psychology graduate student at
Princeton University (and a big-time Jeopardy champion), you might have
been better off leaving the computer at home.

She helped conduct a series of experiments that found that writing notes
longhand is much better for remembering and synthesizing information than
typing on a laptop.

laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
