Why a blackboard beats a whiteboard
Blackboards (or ‘chalkboards’) bring out the creativity in us.
People are less apprehensive about writing on blackboards.
Blackboards bring back memories of childhood and endless possibilities.
They have a weirdly alluring smell when they are wet.
You can’t stick magnets and other junk on them.
A blackboard, or even a bucket of blackboard paint, and a box of chalk is cheap.
They look nice.
