Visited a writer's cabin retreat in Oregon and nobody was using a single notebook

I spent last weekend at this rustic cabin place in the woods that's supposedly for writers to get away and focus. Every single person there had a laptop out. Not one person with a physical journal or notebook. The whole point is to disconnect from screens and write. I felt like I was in a Starbucks but with more pine trees. Am I the only one who still drafts scenes on paper first?

Used to be a laptop-only person but now I totally get the paper thing.

Three years ago I completely switched to a Rocketbook for my daily notes and it changed everything. I still take my laptop to meetings for presentations and heavy typing, but for brainstorming and planning nothing beats actual pen on paper. There's something about writing things down by hand that makes them stick in my memory way better than typing ever did.
