## thesis excerpts: the problem of notebooks
We live in an era in which we can decide to continuously fulfil our desires, without wondering or understanding what we truly need or want. Many people buy a paper notebook because they are attracted by the idea they have of this object, of that nostalgic feeling of hand-writing. Yet, users of paper notebooks, as I discovered through multiple sessions and conversations, frequently tend not to start or complete their notebooks because they are not conscious of the possibilities this medium can offer.
