The Fall of the Classic Union

The pen or the key? In this era of technological omnipotence, we are often bombarded with various creativity-fostering media. Usually this entails some sort of device with which to create, an entity that provides the tools and functions to best tailor our creations to please the human eye or mind, whichever you choose to appeal. Actually, sometimes I miss the classic union of pen and paper. Especially when I have to spend countless hours staring at a screen to painfully relearn most medical/nursing concepts for my job I spent a fortune learning at Penn Nursing, it really makes me miss a simple pen and paper. My eyes would certainly appreciate less strain. Though I guess typing this post on a PC is effortlessly contradictory. So what wins, technological progressivism, indirect tree-saving ventures, or preservation of our sight? I vote for a happy medium.
