Palms were offline devices that only synced with your computer when put on a docking station.

You could read and reply to emails offline, book or cancel meetings, and sync with your computer later. The latest versions allowed you to snap pictures and listen to your music.

No servers running constantly. No data spilled everywhere. Days worth of battery on a single charge.

The future stole our cables, and it took our attention span and our privacy with it.

    I used to take notes on paper in graffiti cause it was kind of a pseudo shorthand.

      My handwriting went from perfect block lettering (engineer/draftsman) to unintelligible scrawl when I learnt graffiti.

      I still try to use graffiti when I try to “type” on my AppleWatch.

      Me too!

      I tried using a Graffiti keyboard on Android, without a stylus it doesn’t make sense.
