Shoutout to my grandpa's old plant ID book versus the app I use now
His 1978 Peterson Field Guide had these hand-drawn cross sections that taught me way more than just snapping a photo for an instant answer. Anyone else feel like they learned more slowly with physical books?

The drawings forced you to actually look at the plant's parts. Apps are fast but you don't always remember why something is what it is.

Remember my friend who tried to learn trees with an app? He could name them fast, but then his kid asked why a pine was a pine... he totally blanked. The app never made him notice the needle bundles or cone shapes, just gave him the answer.
