MR8 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Anyone else notice when they sit down to hand write a few notes, that they can type for hours without a problem, but 5 minutes into a note and your hand feels like it's about to fall off?

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 It’s only a matter of time before hand writing is completely “obsolete.” Not even joking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this out when I went back to college. Students would type out papers on their lap tops during class, hit print and hand it in! No rough draft required!

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) I have ADHD. Handwriting frustrates me because I already have the next three sentences thought out, but my hand writes too slow. I type a lot faster.

My son prints (which is okay)... But starts from bottom up. WTF is that! Drives me wild every time I see it in action! He's 21. /smh I use a hybrid font. Print/cursive. Drafting in school... So developed my own font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have time to look up sources, but there is considerable evidence that shows that hand writing notes commits the information to memory a lot better than typing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked like a charm. i would do that too. i loved writing in the margins of books too. in graduate school, they decided to put every text we needed on a dvd, and it was the absolute worst. i just couldn't study off a screen. 6 minutes ago, Seasons1992 said: HEARD.

I actually take great pride in my penmanship. Always have. I can always appreciate beautiful cursive. Watching cursive die is truly sad to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I type a lot faster. i missed this. i don't have adhd, but i have the exact same thing going on. my hand just can't move fast enough to get the ideas out, so it's shockingly sloppy. i'm also a fast talker for that same reason. i have a few thoughts in my head that i'm always trying to get to. it drives old people nuts.
