I recently bought a new Pulse Smartpen-the technology is amazing.

I never thought I would benefit from a pen that not only writes, but also records voices, has a video camera, translates to multiple languages, calculates and has up to 2 GB of memory. I’ll never again take pages of notes and forget what I was hearing at the time.

With the way Pulse works, McGyver would be envious. It’s now been several weeks since getting my new pen. I’ve demonstrated it to many people, and I’ve been very focused on my note taking in meetings and during sales presentations.

So what’s my take on the new pen?

My new pen is just another sign of the rapid pace of technology changing the way we do business. But no matter how small the tool, or sophisticated the technology, at the end of it all - we still have paper.

I continue to have important contracts that need to be signed, documents to be shared, and pages upon pages of important notes. And now I have a nifty little pen to make sure I don’t forget anything.
