If you're a student looking for the most advanced learning machine available, give laptops a pass—and pick up an age-old notebook.
You'll absorb and retain more information if you take notes by hand, according to a study by UCLA, giving you an edge on your tests.
That spiral-bound stack of paper has other advantages, too: You can't zone out on Facebook and Instagram during a lecture, so you are more likely to stay focused.
Putting pen to paper requires a different kind of mental processing than typing does. Sure, typing on a laptop gives you the power to record a lecture nearly word for word—but transcribing verbatim is associated with what's called "shallow cognitive processing." The words may be captured on your screen, but they basically went in one ear and out the other.
Also, your notebook doesn't run Fortnite.

Conflict is created by Diversity.
Diversity is when everyone does not think alike.
Force and Voluntarily.

I wouldn't say it's the best way, perhaps the most frequently attempted way, but based on success rates to-date surely there are better ways out there.

It is to get a laugh more than it is to suggest that as the best way.
