Typed or Handwritten?

yeah... i must do handwritten coz i'm a student and everyday i must write everything in my school..........i though so tired but i remember that handwritten is very very nice...........isn't it???

It's great that you enjoy writing by hand, it's definitely an art =]

Haha, one of the main reasons, besides enjoying it, that I revert to handwriting all the time is to make sure that I maintain my legibility. There have been a few times when I haven't written anything substantial by hand for a few weeks, and the next time I attempt it (and I do mean attempt), it looks like a 7 year old with dyslexia. =P I love the fact that I can type so fast, and almost get things out as I think them, but I do have this problem of jumping ahead with my hands and I have this massive gap where I forgot to put in entire sentences =P

I'm very much the same. I carry a small notepad and pen with me everywhere, so I won't forget those little thoughts or inspirations that come through-out the day, but if I don't take those notes to the computer every once in a while, nothing ever really gets done with them. I type much more quickly than I write; my pen can never quite seem to keep up with my thoughts. My keyboard can't either, but at least I can go back and fix the typos and add in the missing words etc. The ability to edit on the fly is very handy for me. I tend to spew out the main ideas, and then edit and add to them before posting or finalizing anything. That can be rather difficult, on paper. :-)

Well I probably type faster than I can write but the neatness is so much better when typed.

I completely agree - written language was such an innovative system of communication, and to abandon it would be shameful to say the least. I love that I can embrace the old and new, and mix it up - even type up a title, whack on a border and then use it as personalised paper to handwrite notes on =] I still love both of my old typewriters, too, they've got such an awesome vintage feel to them. Thanks for your input, Tom =D

We are on the same boat. While we don't have to forget the usual method we should also take advantage of the modern alternative we already have. I always use pen for some artistic writing and some notes but for long and business purposes, I always use my own laptop, because of great convenience and ease of use. Plus, I could save time and papers.

I completely agree about younger students focusing more on their handwriting and spelling without the aid of spellcheck. Also, primary-school aged children generally do assignments based on books, rather than the internet, so there's no real reason for a computer to get involved =] Thanks for your input Ranitam!

Fair enough, I guess it depends on the person, the place and the thought =] Thanks for taking the time to respond.
