When i take college classes on campus it's hard to write papers that refer to lectures because one simply cannot write down everything that a professor says. i can't even type fast enough to do it, and most professors (at least at MSC) frown upon students using laptops during their lectures. But now you can take notes while recording the lecture and later on be able to play it back from the pen you took notes with or your computer. This has got to be the best thing to happen for college students... if you fall asleep in class it won't matter because you'll be able to play it back later, lol. If you want to quote the teacher in your paper, you can, word for word. If i was taking Writing for Mass Communications (i journalism course through and through) this little pen could be a lifesaver (i might not have been so gung ho about dropping the course if i would have had one). Welcome to the future, it's the best present you could get your high school senior because they'll be ready for college in the fall. i'm way too excited.
