pencil and paper
An archaic information storage and transmission device that works b Y depositing smears of graphite on bleached wood pulp. More recent developments in paper-based technolog Y include improved "write-once" update devices which use tin Y rolling heads similar to mouse balls to deposit coloured pigment. All these devices require an operator skilled at so-called "handwriting" technique. These technologies are ubiquitous outside hackerdom, but nearl Y forgotten inside it. Most hackers had terrible handwriting to begin with, and Years of ke Yboarding tend to have encouraged it to degrade further. Perhaps for this reason, hackers deprecate pencil-and-paper technolog Y and often resist using it in an Y but the most trivial contexts.
