"You may not be able to read a doctor's handwriting and prescription, but you'll notice his bills are neatly typewritten." Earl Wilson, American journalist and author
Steve, fabulous article! I too love the reMarkable2. I think it's as close to the feel of writing on real paper as one can get. And yes, I write on it in cursive... well mostly. I call my style curprintsive.
Here's to keeping our aging Boomer brains beefed up.
Steve, you alluded to the hand copying of sales letters. My question is, is there a difference between using printed characters and cursive script when it comes to retention of the material, of "imprinting" on the mind?
Steve, This is a brilliant issue. It's a crying shame that schools these days don't teach handwriting. My grandkids can neither write cursive nor, perhaps even worse, read it. They can't tell time on an analog clock, either...what are we doing to our younger generations? Is this really "progress"?
I like 'spatial' writing by hand. I have a stack of pencils, large erasers (highly necessary), plenty of binder and scratch paper. I don't throw away any sheet of paper as long as at least one side is blank. I staple them together and use for notes - a sickness? Probably. The ReMarkable looks like a great tool. It would save $ in printer ink too. But can it withstand coffee?

Love the new word!

Not really heard anything about that. Just that writing by hand reinforces it in your mind. Good question, though!

Mine all are pretty good at writing by hand. The oldest does a fair job with cursive, too.

As long as you don't spill it on it. LOL. But I did use it a lot when I was an electrician in the chicken plant. So there's that.
Such a great article. I too used to be able to write by hand and it was legible, now not so much. Kind of a lost art.
That tablet has helped me get back into the cursive swing of things, LOL.
