"Apps" is just our current Zeitgeist term for products. Facebook, Reddit, newspaper... are now "apps". You don't have to like it (I don't either), but just like the term "meme" has evolved from an "animal/person with bold text on it" to mean any joke or popular concept, "app" has transcended the phone realm.
This is both very funny and very sad :) Paper is its own thing. if you think about it, the todo list in the computer was first a skeuomorph of the paper one. Now people have become so alienated from the paper that someone has brought their computer todo to the paper :)))) Not only this does not promote the paper, but is a huge promotion for the computer! By being a constant reminder to the notebook's owner: "this is…
>A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original. Thanks for the new word !

It's actually the other way around, "meme" existed in the general sense for many years before internet-image-macro-memes became a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme#Dawkins
The main reasons are searchability and archivability. My todos are always there, I can modify them, and they reach out to yell at me at the appropriate times. My notes done get lost in my desk anymore and take up no space.
I still like paper for fast writing and then I just port that over to my digital notes later.
I’m sure these are great for limiting distractability, but I’ve found that switching to an iPhone and not having my notifications in the top bar of my phone, along with having some type of focus enabled most of the day helps me not get distracted while taking care of something separate.

I don’t think this is sad at all. And I’m not sure how this can be described as bringing computer todo to paper.
It is a little sad (in a nostalgic sense) that paper apparently becomes more marketable when contrasted with the features of computers (apps specifically), rather than as a product in its own right.
