I work as a Programmer, so my laptop usually isn't far away when I need to take notes.
It's really just contract signitures and maybe the rare form, though almost anything can be done online these days.
Not just pens. Paperwork in general is fortunatly becoming obsolete. I haven't recieved anything important by physical mail in months and almost all invoices are now digitial.
Wow I'm a programmer too, and I can't imagine getting through an entire day without my notebook. It's how I organise my thoughts in the morning, and stay on task. It's also a really nice break from the screens every now and then
Ok see that was one of my first guesses but I personally would still need to write notes at least for myself, plus doodling lol, so I ruled out any office jobs.
