Some Verizon exec finally got sick of being Rickrolled, and he decide to take out his wrath on the closest manifestation of the internet he could find.

As a college freshman myself, I find both to be useful in different situations. Electrical engineering class obviously has plenty of diagrams, so paper and pen works best for that. Math has all sorts of stuff that's much harder to do on a computer. But psychology has (almost) no diagrams or equations, so typing works better for that simply because it's faster.
Look, this whole discussion is almost pointless. People are going to use whatever they feel the most comfortable with. Go to any college and you'll see that neither paper nor laptops are extinct.

I'm going to have to try this with beer. For science, of course.
With insights like that, you could be a Hollywood screenwriter! Let's see, there's one about dinosaurs we can put you on!

It feels good to know that the court upholds my right to drawl "BRAAAAAIIINNNNSSSSSSSSS"
They had this technology twenty years ago. It mainly consisted of Rain Man memorizing license plate numbers.

Of the email advertisements I get for Viagra, those with Canadian URLs do seems to be a bit cheaper.

Does that mean that 95% of the reputation I got was bogus? Now I don't feel nearly so proud...
