I think that the belief of pen and paper being “natural”, is a weird idea. We have less than 15,000 years of history with pen and paper, closer to 150,000 if we include cave paintings. Far as evolution is concerned, that is a pretty darn short. Our understanding of writing - and computers - arises from an incidental application of our intelligence, not the other way around.
