A few other contributions: It has crazy bandwidth. With enough floor space, I can spread out and see every single next action and project at once. No one has a monitor that big. It's secure. Just how sure are you that you're the only one looking at your online data? Is that sure enough? It'll never crash. Alright, maybe your house will burn down. Short of that, it'll be there for you, even if the network goes down and the power goes out. Good thing you have that @inthedark context. It's stable. Maybe you won't need that project support file from that project you finished twenty years ago, but maybe you will. Do you really want to try to dig it off a floppy disk? And that's just off the top of my head. I’m totally a GTD in paper guy as well. A few other contributions:

It does sound like an accurate observation. I think when typing, your brain puts some of its focus onto the actual typing. Handwriting is so natural that your brain barely has to think about it and it can instead focus on what you're writing. Just a thought. Interesting point Chris.

Of course, that may be because I write down smaller amounts of information due to the time it takes, which makes it easier to memorize.
