In recent times, there have been faint mutterings that the sketchbook could eventually become extinct, as the rise of smartphones and tablets \u2014 particularly the latest iPad, with its long-awaited Apple Pencil<\/a> \u2014 erodes the perceived need for good, old-fashioned pens and paper. However, it seems that reports of the sketchpad\u2019s demise have been greatly exaggerated: Moleskine sees a harmonious future for both paper and digital devices, harnessing the technology of the tablet while preserving the tactile quality of its more traditional counterpart.<\/p>\n
