I received one of these pens for Christmas this year. Apparently it allows a student to record the teacher's lectures while simultaneously taking notes. Then, later, you can use the pen to tap on your notes and it brings back that point in the lecture.
Sounds like this is a pretty legit tool. I haven't opened it yet though because I almost feel like I have a system for studying/note taking and the system works. Why fix it if it's not broken? Could anyone shed some light on this and it's value at USMA? Would it even be allowed? My parents are really pushing for me to give it a try, but I don't quite know that I would be able to get the max use out of it, simply because I don't know if I would use it enough....
Anyone tried this?
Input?
