Everyone in my group at work (before I retired last year) had a smart phone. I used to taunt them into contests. One was where I'd suggest a scenario where their wife has just called and asked them to pick up milk, eggs, cottage cheese and hamburger at the supermarket on the way home. How fast can they enter that list into their smart phone. I would pull out my notepad and be done in about 15 seconds, the first smart phone guy wouldn't finish for at least another minute.
​
Not to render your point invalid (because it is valid), but with one click on the front of my android, I can voice record that list faster than you can write it and it will save both an audio and text copy.

Things improve.

And as a general note on Window 8, I HATED it on my first laptop. I mean I had to control my urges to destroy the machine. Next laptop has a touch screen and I now quite enjoy it.

It was designed for a touchscreen and without that you want to kill it. (I also run "Classic Shell" for when I'm not using it as a touchscreen.
