Used to lug a paper notebook to every dig site, now I'm logging finds on a tablet in the field

Swore I'd never trust a screen in the dirt after my old notebook survived a rainstorm at a site outside Tucson in 2019, but now I'm tagging every sherd with GPS points on a tablet and it's cut my lab time in half. Anyone else make the switch, or am I the only one feeling weirdly guilty about it?
