I have been planning to revisit how this particular blending of paper and digital technology works, but it seems I have an even better reason to consider this with the rise of new “smart pens” that seem to be looking to compete with the e-ink market. I find this whole concept very interesting. Alright, enough of an intro. Below, you will find my initial reaction created completely on my [Rocketbook](https://amzn.to/3U9CP8t). Let me know your thoughts.

After all, this was the first digital technology (or quasi-digital at least) that I ever reviewed. So, why did this video make me think of Rocketbook? Here are a few reasons - More paper like feel - Reusable surface similar to a white board. - Easily viewable on a smart device The real question is going to be if the smart pens allow you to do something unique. Of course, it is easy to write in an app directly, but these pens only partially do that. Can they erase? Not from what I saw. You still have to use a damp cloth. Is there a handwriting recognition feature? [Rocketbook](https://amzn.to/3U9CP8t) talks about OCR and the benefits of their scanning technology. One possible real advantage to the pen technology I could see would be for the pen to work using regular paper and in effect create a digital archive of your notes, almost akin to [Thomas Jefferson's polygraph](https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/polygraph/). Only time will tell. Until next time, let me know what you think in the comments. **| [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdofOksT0V35qf1-zqsIXUQ/) | [Patreon](https://patreon.com/OrganizingforChange?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink) | [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/edward.w.finn/) | [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/changeagent1820/) | [Threads](https://www.threads.net/@changeagent1820) | [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/change1820.bsky.social) | [X](https://x.com/EdFinnIII) | | [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/6Tvle14n3fjG8mn0DGfO1G?si=k4B3ocohTI2EuNoFWos1GA) | [iHeart Radio](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-change-chat-274015995/) | [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/change-chat/id1812220268) |**
