An overview about the handwriting- their misconceptions; does handwriting really matter? Or is it not as impactful as people say it is?
By Ursila
If you are here, then you are probably already thinking about the importance of handwriting, and are wondering, “Can I test it out to find out its accuracy?” You might be thinking, “will this benefit me in any way?” Well to find out for sure, keep reading as you’re about to glide into something helpful.
Now you see, handwriting is not only about making work “pleasing to look at”. It has existed for more than five hundred decades, and without this fine invention, we wouldn’t be where we are right now. Nowadays there are several reasons why there is concern about it, and how it is helpful, and how it has been affected.
Handwriting’s Importance
You may not realize the significance of this art, but it has a major impact on everybody’s life.
It is an exercise for your brain and body. Writing immensely enhances one’s mental development.
Your mind’s vision and sensation gets trained as strokes of pens sends messages to the brain. This in turn can boost your grades as writing improves memory. They can remember things better if they use the unique art of handwriting. See, at least even if you lose those sheets of paper, you will still remember many points compared to someone who does not write. “A small price to pay for salvation.”
Alongside this benefit, taking down notes by hand polishes reading skills and helps people in expressing ideas or themselves more.
Handwriting – How it is therapy:
What many do not realize is how writing can be highly therapeutic.
Ever noticed how whenever you might be upset or mad about something, you pick up an ink device and let your thoughts glide through- a piece of paper calms
you down? How about giving it a go in case you haven’t.
This happens as writing strengthens the immune system and mind, helping in releasing stress and anxiety.
Reasons for the concern about handwriting:
• Technology:
There is more use of advanced technology,
from children aged barely two years old to adults, everyone owns one of these devices.
Why write when you can type?
More technology means less need for writing with your hand. Due to the growing number and usage of phones/laptops, everyone has become out of practice from writing.
• Less work:
Everyone wants to find an easy way out in everything. People tend to find writing by hand tiring and “too much work”.
It is a complex skill to master and becomes frustrating for people. Hence, they find it easier to type instead, without realizing how it will impact them.
With practice, anything can be easily mastered.
• Communicating skills:
Communication is affected. In order to communicate with others or to communicate through expressing your ideas, writing is important. Without this practice, an individual’s communication skill weakens.
How technology has affected written communication:
As this generation progresses, there is a constant rate of increase in the use of devices, such as laptops, phones, ipads, computers and many more.
Children lack many skills, including reading, writing, and communicating etc. as they constantly use such devices. They end up forgetting things easily, especially content related to studies.
Keyboards are much easier to use and master. Individuals find it easier to type, and when it
comes to being in touch and speaking, they find it better through texting.
Come on, be honest most of you reading this prefer
texting as a source of communication as well.
Mortals do not write letters- whether it be for
business or a love letter- it is no longer written. People have lost their skills and greatly depend on technology, which may not be so reliable.
Things written by hand can be stored for decades. However, technology advances every day, and soon your “latest ” phone becomes outdated and the battery life decreases, increasing the risk of losing important
data.
In conclusion, handwriting holds great importance, and
one can gain all the benefits from it by writing and writing more, having enough practice to master this art.
