What are the advantages/disadvantages of a PDA compared to a small paper notebook?

January 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment · PDA |

I’ve carried around a 3×5 notebook in my pocket for a few years. I use it to keep track of to-do lists, shopping lists, notes to myself, etc.

It seems to work ok for me, but I’m considering getting a PDA instead. What can a PDA do better than a notebook? Are there things that are easier in a notebook?

Thanks!

    For me it has to do with the fact that I tend to have too many lists, calendars, notebooks, address books and general notes and/or papers to keep track of.

    The PDA is way too expensive to lose track of and it keeps all my information in one place! I love the idea of setting alarms to remind me to do things during the day!

    At the present time, technology allows us to do so much more than ever before and this will, of course, become more true as time goes on. There are also a lot of extra benefits of having a PDA such as the capabilities of listening to music, keeping photos, videos and much more. Also, depending on the model and how much you want to spend, you could have the capability of accessing the internet with your PDA.

    And…let’s not forget the choice of having a PDA phone?! Talk about efficient!

    You may not know NOW exactly what a PDA can do for you but I’ll bet you wouldn’t regret getting one.

    Having said that…if you are not into computers and/or electronics at all, you may want to stick with the paper idea.
