I might have to start getting out a pad and pen.

Now you're really kicking it old school. When my mom and I sat down to speak to my grandmother about her escaping Nazi Poland in the 1940s, it was well before smartphones. Niether of us even bothered to set up a camcorder (even though I wish I had). Instead we just took notes during the convo and then wrote it up in paragraph form (in cursive no less). I wonder if the next generation will even be able to read cursive English since this is not a skill commonly taught in schools anymore.
