Longhand vs Keyboard typing


This week our posts are around Clubhouse and how we in Thirteen are attempting to use it for spreading the topics of Writing and Thirteen in particular.



This week the topic of the room we created was " Longhand writing vs Keyboard typing". The call started with people sharing their experience of how it us to write with hand and how it has helped them especially in remembering things for academic writing. There may not be a scientific explanation for now but there is something interesting when we write inflow in the case of longhand writing. People also shared how they have a feeling of connectedness with write-up when we write with hand.



Then there was a boy who acknowledged that now he has not done longhand writing for years. How he misses to even remember that experience. On our request to attempt it he kindly agrees to give it a try. Of course in a digital world, we all understand the importance of having access to different writing and note-taking platforms and how they all being on the cloud can help with interoperability and access from anywhere / anytime. There is also easy sharing which happens with digital note-taking which is not that simple when it comes to longhand writing.



All said, there are both merits and demerits of both types but longhand writing is magical.
