My Networks Mapped Out: Digital vs Analogue

Upon reading Dave Cormier's (2018) blog that looked further into mapping our networks with either a digital or analogue point of view it led me to further reflect on my networks and where they land. While I see myself leaning more towards digital networks, like social media, email, and other means to connect online, I find myself also still using some analogue tools. For instance, when I am in school or a work meeting, I tend to always have a paper notebook as I like to hand write my notes. I feel this allows me to remember what is being written more than when I type. On the other hand, Cormier (2018) talked about using sticky notes for his activities, and I found myself laughing as on my laptop I use digital sticky notes that stay on my desktop. So, I must think, how many analogue tools now have a digital equivalent? Should there be tasks completed through analogue means or should we completely shift to digital? These are some questions to think about as I continue on my journey as a MALAT student.
