"Taking note" is a general human activity which can be done independent of media. If you are (still) consuming most of your reading material from written media, then I guess pen and paper are most suitable to you. If you are like most people today consuming your information from a computer screen then taking notes with your computer is probably more appropriate since you will anyway have a keyboard and screen in front of you, ready to just type. But anway, it is your choice :-). Einsteing didn't have a mini calculator and Socrates didn't have neither paper nor computer (and never took a note), so it's all relative and up to you :).
