What is Evernote?

This is a program which can be downloaded onto both mac and windows computers. It can even be found on smartphones such as iphones. It facilitates a rapid and easy way to make clear and concise notes which can range from something huge to something small. It is also free to download which makes it even more accessible to the public. The free version allows you to make over 500,000 notes and on the other the possibilities are limitless. It is extremely useful if you think of something very good or an excellent idea you can simply jot it down regardless of where you are. It is also very useful if you come across something truly inspiring. This can be a sound or an image which you can record or take a photo of respectively.

It also works like a sort of album in which you can organise your notes in any particular way you wish. These notes can be organised into different notebooks and you can even put tags on the notes as well. When you name a notebook it immediately becomes searchable and extremely easy to find. You do this by typing in keywords or titles and as if by magic the note that you intended to find appears.

This may all seem amazing stuff but I believe that it is no different to a notebook or camera. They do the same thing and are a convenient as Evernote. A phone performs these exact functions without this program or application. On the other hand, you can never lose it which is very likely with small cumbersome notepads. You can enter Evernote from any computer in the world as long as it has a decent internet connection available. You can reproduce it by printing several times and you can also send your outstanding ideas to friends, family and co-workers. I have downloaded it and it may seem very helpful but in the full week I have possessed it I have found no possible need for it. I think it is a good idea but I just don't believe it will be a successful one as it is simply mimicking the functions that other devices do already and probably to a much higher quality.
