    Handwriting Is Better Than Typing

    In this busy modern world, everyone seems to be looking for the


    quickest and easiest way to get things done. Just because something
    is faster though does not mean it is always better. While typing on
    a keyboard may seem like the more convenient and efficient option, I
    am going to tell you why that is incorrect. Handwriting is most certainly
    better than typing.

    To begin, writing by hand is a fantastic tool for developing and strengthening fine motor skills.
    Fine motor development is an essential part of our learning. Without these fine motor skills, we
    would not only struggle to draw or write anything effectively but also to properly feed ourselves,
    tie our shoelaces and button or zip our clothes. How on earth would we look after ourselves?
    Typing on a keyboard may offer some small benefit towards our fine motor development but as
    it is a less complex task not nearly as much as handwriting. For this reason, it is so important
    to practice writing by hand, rather than on a keyboard, as often as possible.

    Additionally, when writing things down by hand, you really do know what you are writing.
    Studies have shown that while you are writing your brain is simultaneously comprehending
    each and every word. You know and understand exactly what you have written and can easily
    recall where it all is on the page. Typing a text, using a keyboard, makes it much easier to lose
    track of what you are writing, creating the very likely possibility that your text will turn out
    to be far more confusing and incoherent.

    Furthermore, have you ever seen someone working


    on a computer with just one tab open? Well, I
    certainly haven’t! Computers may offer many
    exciting opportunities but that also means they
    offer many more distractions. Even if you don’t
    have multiple programs and tabs open and running
    at the same time, there will still be a constant
    stream of pop-up notifications, system alerts or
    even technical issues to distract you from your writing process. Therefore, using computers,
    phones, laptops or any other devices to type your writing really will not serve you well. They
    disturb and sidetrack your focus, which in turn will affect your writing.

    In conclusion, it is clear that the more traditional method of writing by hand is the superior
    option. While writing with a keyboard may seem like a quick and fun option, it is undoubtedly
    less effective in getting the job done properly. Stick to pen and paper - it’s definitely the best
    way to write.
