I think, on the survivability front, the ultimate end is to have some form of your record in the cloud. That being said, I can't see my preferences venturing away from recording into a paper notebook, while at the bench. I don't see the future as a move wholly to a digital format for the lab notebook, but I definitely see some of the sharing and collaborating taking place on screen. I think the question is: Will we accept transcribing are written work so that it can be shared and protected, or might we eventually be aided by something such as an automatic scanner and OCR?
