Interesting how often this happens: a) on my phone, I get engrossed in a book or long article; b) I realize I should email/text someone; then c) I panic — *where’s my phone*? The act of deep reading renders my phone temporarily un-phone-like.

The funny thing is that you can conceivably doodle on a keyboard (see: people doing live ASCII art performances), and you can also write down notes in ways that wouldn’t simply be 100% transcription. I wonder if there could be apps that could facilitate these.

If I'm reading a book via Kindle on my phone, I pause frequently to dictate *tons* of notes ... so I'm using the phone-ness of the phone frequently.

Nice piece! “Writing with voice” is a good counterpart to “speaking with fingers,” which I’m researching now. Plus, the cultural aspects of dictation seem fascinating. (E.g. “Dictated but not read.”)
