How did they do it?
For decades just how in the world did students get by. Having to take notes by hand, then go back totheir dorm room , transcribe and study. Wow talk about having to suffer. look at what the students are complaining about now.

Law Professor Bans Laptops in Class
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A University of Memphis law professor has banned laptop computers from her classroom and her students are passing a petition against it.
Professor June Entman says her main concern is that students are so busy keyboarding they can't think and analyze what she's telling them.
Students have begun collecting signatures on petitions and tried unsuccessfully to file a complaint with the American Bar Association.
Student Cory Winsett says if he must continue without his laptop, he'll transfer to another school. Winsett says he won't be able to keep up if he has to rely on hand-written notes, which he says are incomplete and less organized.
(OR MAYBE HE WON'T BE ABLE TO SURF WIRELESS DURING THOSE LONG BOREING LECTURES)
GOOD GRIEF, YOU KNOW BY HAVING TO WRITE HAND NOTES AND ASK MAYBE IF THE PROFESSOR WOULD REPETE OR CLARIFY A POINT, OH WAIT AMINUTE THIS MEANS MENTAL COMPETANCE FROM THE STUDENT AND AN INTENT TO LEARN THEIR TOPIC ...... NEVERMIND.
