Bullet - I agree with what you are saying. There is much talk of the younger generation being so computer literate. What seems to be missed is that often the pencil can communicate so much more efficiently. Too many people haven't developed the basic skills they need to communicate a visual idea on paper. In my work as an architect I'm seeing fewer and fewer people who can sketch out an idea. It is a shame.

I find it very efficient to sketch out ideas freehand, and then review them before moving to the computer.

Below I've attached a sketch I drew on a trip to the Netherlands.
