I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE THIS BLOG ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** YOU CAN TOO MUSE APPROVED ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** 30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT for January 24, 2020 Yesterday celebrated National Handwriting Day in the USA. How often do you still hand write anything substantial? Do you think the decline in children learning cursive writing will be a hindrance to their generation? I handwrite meeting notes, in a scribbler, and I've recently returned to keeping a 'Daytimer' I like to write using my mouse as my pen in Window's Paint. If this seems substantial, then yes. I handwrite several times a week. I was not aware there was a National Handwriting Day in the USA celebrated yesterday. Nobody tells me anything. I had no idea. In school, my son had difficulty printing letters, so much so, teaching him cursive wasn't even a consideration. Luckily for him, the use of keyboards was a common teaching tool at the time. (Something my generation did not have) This allowed him to complete almost all of his school assignments using a keyboard. He has graduated, taken college courses, and works in IT. He's part of a new generation that leaves behind very little handwriting samples. Most of our handwritten history has been digitized. I don't think we lose anything there. I don't think it will be a hindrance to their generation or future generations. Oh, they'll have hindrances alright, but leaving handwriting to the history books won't be one of them.
