What is an advantage of taking notes in a digital format?

The fact that you could easily pull it up

No advantage in digital because you brain is not as responsive to digital form than writing with hand   

Why can you not find anything better to do i mean i guess talking to strangers is pretty entertaining

Yeah they want to steal your info and sell it on the dark web. they want your credit/debit card numbers, social security numbers, google passwords, and other stuff. some people install spyware onto your device, which, as the word suggests, is built to spy on your every move, such as what you type. they then sell this information to other people secretly or use it for evil purposes themselves. or both, idk. the reason why this info costs money to learn is because its valuable info. im not saying that i condone it though! hacking sucks, and whoever is involved in it is just a horrible person.
