Simpler Times with Personalized Notepads
There are just some things a tablet computer cannot do and shame on you for thinking otherwise. Please remove yourself from the high resolution screen for a moment and count to ten. This may be hard for you to accept at first. Now breathe and repeat after me – I am a tech junkie. They say the first step is admitting that you have a problem and yes, I understand the irony of using a computer to get my point across. Bear with me. It will be over soon enough.
Things were much simpler back then, for those lucky enough to remember, when a hand written letter meant how 
much we cared for someone. Today, that romanticism is gone and replaced by email and text messages. Should we blame the gurus of the tech world for this travesty? It is because of them that we are left to fend for ourselves in this digital realm, armed with just a personalized notepad and a floppy disk.
In an ideal world there should be a balance between humans and machines. I guess all those sci-fi films had it right all along. Ask yourself this question: are we at the point of being controlled by an evil network of machines? Well, I will have to ask my iPhone because my kindle seems to be on the fritz. Get with the times, dude! For all those who still take pen to paper you are what the current generation calls: not-so-tech-savvy. What can I say – the current generation isn’t too witty.
The great thinkers and writers of the past didn’t have any other alternative but to write everything down. What’s funny about the human condition is that the latest high tech gadget can only keep us entertained for so long. As soon as the next update arrives we are quickly moved to get it. But do we actually get it? Only the tech gods know.
Notepads were once called diaries, journals, and manuscripts. Now they are called blogs and web entries. There is nothing wrong with going back to how things were. Try organizing your life with a custom printed desk slab, you might discover something new about yourself or someone else that you didn’t read on a status update.

I have an iPad and love it to death. But even I have to sometimes put myself on timeout from it. I get on it and then next thing I know its 2-3 hours later. I want to start limiting myself to only 30-45 minutes intervals but have to break my current habit. I do also enjoy picking up a pen and writing from time to time. Last year my mom bought me personalized stationery. I’ve already used up all but 5 notes so far and need to order more. If you are like me you may want to evaluate your iPad usage because it is very addicting.

The iPad is one of the few high-tech gadgets I haven’t quite gotten around to using yet. Well, that and the Kindle. But I do agree, sometimes it’s better to write on a personalized notepad rather than do everything with your gadgets. Some people are too dependent on their gadgets, but for me it’s just more convenient to write down reminders and such on a personalized notepad.

Yes, here are some things that were easier and simpler, in a different era, a different time. I’ve been realizing that for a while.” Boy, the way Glen Miller played. Songs that made the hit parade. Guys like us, we had it made. ” Does this tune sound remotely familiar, does it make you feel what I’m talking about? Were you one of those people that learned a few of these lyrics as you jotted down your grocery lists, favorite books, records, people and places to see, or places to invite other people to see with. I have never been that dependent on technology where I lost sense of the way, the memory of what life was like before cell phones and Ipads landed on earth. I realized there was power in the written and spoken word a long time ago. More people have come to realize that when going back to those simple skills like writing on Notepads and placing Mini-Lists on dashboards, back doors, lockers and bulletins. Do you still get those die hard Personalized Stationery fans paying attention to that agenda? Weren’t those the days? “Didn’t need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight?”

Not everyone is a tech junkie and believe it or not it hasn’t taken a rude awakening with today’s email culture for some people to realize the originality of a hand written note delivers a message with so much more sincerity and originality than an email can. We cannot return to simpler times and we shouldn’t try but I’m sure there was a time that some of us still remember skimming through the actual Billboard Magazine to get the latest updates instead of going to the website to jot the top ten down. You may have had a set of our Anthony 7 Tablets, Memo Squares or Apple Memos. As a matter of fact you all are probably aware that Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe ” is still standing tall at No. 1. It started off as a bit of folk song penned by Jepsen and Tavish Crowe. Can you imagine how different keeping track of really important things like this were thirty years ago in 1982 when everything wasn’t digital ?
Drift back to 1982. Not everyone had a personal computer. Of course not everyone was concerned with the top ten in 1982 but those that were, along with the latest trends and making connections with genuine people did freely give their name and number for you to get back to them later. There are probably a number of you who did just that. You probably remember a number of our best selling Customized Notepads. You carried them around to give out your number and to take note of a few others. You probably had Apple Memo Squares, Carnival Tablets, Classic Monogram Memos, Executive Tablets and more. All of our best selling Notepads were and are still very much the same. If you were around during the summer of 82 you probably had a few songs jotted down because they were at the top of the charts. Do you remember any of these songs and did you have any of them jotted down? ” Chariots of Fire” by Vangelis. Ebony and Ivory by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney. “Don’t You Want Me” by the Human League and “Eye of The Tiger” all had a place at number one that summer. Do you remember? Joan Jet also had one of the biggest hits of the year earlier in the spring, a little tune called “I Love Rock and Roll.” Talk about trying to save time on a Memo Pad.
“Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time.”

I’ve always preferred personalized notepads as a way to put down my thoughts or leave reminders for myself. I have a bunch of them all over the place. I keep a notepad by my house phone, one in my car, one on my desk. I even have one that I usually carry around in my pocket. I leave myself all sorts of little notes, everything from things I need to shop for to songs I want to listen to or questions I want to ask somebody. It’s always been more convenient for me than using a Blackberry or something in order to write notes to myself.

I just got an iPad recently and so far I love it! Honestly I think it’s going to replace my laptop for almost everything. But I still will have a personalized notepad that I don’t see myself ever giving up anytime soon. It’s just so much easier to have my notepad and a pen sitting on my desk within reach if I need to jot down a reminder, and tear off the top sheet to take with me instead of putting a reminder into the iPad.
As much as I love my new gadget, I don’t take it everywhere. Stuffing a sheet or two from my notepad into my pocket (or my purse if I don’t have pockets) is never a problem, though. I’m not quite like Jeff here where I have notepads scattered all over, but I usually have at least a few blank sheets in my purse to write on if I need to.
