They say pen is mightier than a sword. I believe on that sayings. But I think nowadays computer's keyboard is now mightier than a pen.... But words still more powerful than action it doesn't matter if u use pen or keyboard. Words cannot be change.

I think this is a pretty interesting question but I think comparing the pen and keyboard will be unfair. Writing something with the help of keyboard has its advantages but pen is a different tool. With pen one can show his expression by his/her style of writing. The joy of writing with pen can never be replaced by the mighty keyboard for sure.

Yes know... But no matter if its a pen or a keyboard, words are still more powerful than actions.

Hmm.. It still depends. You see, keyboard may be the medium of communication these days, but plagiarism is rampant, and anyone with a computer access could join in the conversation. The validity of the opinion isn't confirmed because most of the people who share their ideas online don't need credentials to do so. Unlike when one uses the pen or talks, people knows them. They have rules and they have editors before their work must be published. Most people online are in it (sharing ideas) because we remain anonymous online. Yes, there were times when pen names where useful, but still eventually the character of the person and the name would surface. Unlike online where a man could be a woman and anyone could be anyone. Therefore, it may seem that the keyboard has overrun the freedom of speech of most, but still, what is in print (with credentials of those involved) could never be immediately forgotten.

i agree with you man.. keyboard is more powerful than pen because.. when we type something on the keyboard it reaches millions in seconds, and using a keyboard gives us more possibilities of exposure than using the pen

hi Jeanlyster. Nice question. =) It really doesnt matter whichever is mightier. What's important is that both make an output. For those who have bad penmanship, like in my case, I would say that my bestfriend is the keyboard. I type better than I write. But eitherway, my ideas and what I have to write do not change. That's what's important. For others who are having hard time typing or having problems with typing speed, it think they resort to using pens. happy writing or typing. =)
