This is like a video that I saw where a carpenter uses very high end equipment and skills to create a phone holder to be placed on a desk.

We ran out of real work and real problems.

Tech and machinery is far ahead of the needs of humanity. Yes, you can create and print a single page calendar or carve out a phone holder, but when you think of it's usage, you are not going to need it - YAGNI.

There are proven advantages to hand-writing out notes and planning on paper over digital tools - the physical, tactile experience engages your brain in different ways, and this has been proven by multiple studies.

Digital tools are great. They're why they're here. But a lot of people want paper for good reasons, and it's a very different experience to wanting a wooden holder for your phone.
