The Net Generation & Handwriting

Post by Paddington Bear »

Some people argue that kids these days have lost the art of penmanship and that most of them could not write legibly. I disagree with that argument and think that good handwriting is natural. But what would an old codger like me know, eh? So, I put it to you, O wretched assortment of teenagers and students; is your handwriting any good and when was the last time you had to use a pen? :mrgreen:

pp I've hardly used a pen since school...since I have been using computer even at work now....as far as taking notes, not much effort and thought is used, because they are only for me to refer back to.

Everything is by learning, when kids are taught at early age how to properly hold the pen and the right way to write, later on for them, it will be as easy as counting from 1 to 10.

That's if you're talking about learning to write. How else do you explain that some people have better handwriting than others? :mrgreen:

Hyper, there are lots of companies that insist on handwritten cover letters to accompany any job applications. Many of the elite universities also insist on such a requirement. :mrgreen:

By the way, how do you write essays in exams these days?

Aaah! You're like me, a relic from a bygone age. :mrgreen:

Navy, so you say there is nothing natural about great handwriting, it's all in the work put in?
