Should Pen Markups Still Exist?
Hello y'all - wanted to ask a more conceptual question to you guys about pen markups and get your thoughts on the pros and cons of annotating comments on pen and paper. To me, I feel in this day and age comments should be largely done either directly if text (everybody knows how to type) or via comment box in the presentation itself. There's really two big problems in my mind:
Increases error and time spent: instead of conceiving comment and doing it, you now have to conceive the comment, write it, read it, interpret it, and do it. You've added three additional steps, each multiplying the possibility for mistakes and time spent
Reduces juniors to laborers rather than collaborators. A virtual comment opens up a conversation and reads more collaboratively than a piece of paper full of pen, which reads more like a list of instructions. In the context of text changes, it also signals to the working team that you're above the simple act of editing a document, devaluing the work and members of the team
I see the merits of printing and viewing a work product "as a recipient" as a final pass or if there are specific visual suggestions which are easier to do by hand, but otherwise a pen markup just rubs me the wrong way.
What do you guys think?
