Unpopular opinion: digital drafting is way faster than manual but I miss the feeling of it

I used to hand-draft everything on a board with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, took me 3 days to finish a 2-bedroom floor plan. Now I use CAD and bang it out in 4 hours, but my lines don't have that same weight anymore. Anyone else struggle with switching over and losing the tactile part?

Doesn't it feel like we traded something important for all that speed?

2016 was when I really started noticing it with my own social media habits. I used to think faster was always better until I realized I couldn't remember what I even scrolled through 10 minutes ago lol. That comment made me re-think whether all this speed is actually giving us anything real back.

What speed though?" @the_avery, you mean the constant notifications or the endless scrolling?
