An example to your point:

In Europe the students are sitting in lecture halls typing notes into their laptops but professors in my son's American university prohibit the use of computers in class.

On that, it sounds like the American way is better. Who knows what those students are doing with those laptops? Youtube, Facebook, Icanhas.cheezburger? OTOH, writing notes by hand helps fix the information in the brain. I carry a notebook around all the time, and take notes during meetings and important conversations. I rarely look back at the notes, but I remember the important stuff because I wrote it down. You can't always carry a laptop, but you can *always* have a notebook.
