Is the pen mightier than the keys?
Jim writes down the name and address of a restaurant he is recommending to Jack and gives it to him.
Jack: Thanks, Jim. I can't wait to go. Wow-- your handwriting is so beautiful!
Jim: Thanks! You know many school can't spend much time instructing
students in handwriting anymore. It's kind of that, isn't it?
Jack: I've herad about that, but handwriting isn't as valuable now that
everything is done by computer. When I write, I use a keyboard much more
often than a pen.
Jim: Call me old-fashioned, but I still write letters and cards by hand.
Besides everyone needs to write things by hand sometimes, so it's
important to make sure your writing is legible.
Jack: Yeah. But I think most people's writing is legible already. At
least it's good enough for the small amount they have to write. For
anything long, printed papers usually look neater. Plus, when we type we
can use spell check to make sure our spelling and grammar are correct.
Jim: That's exactly why students should write by hand! How can they learn to spell it the computer always does it for them?
