We remember the information contained in handwritten notes better than notes typed into a computer. Perhaps it is the hand motion, perhaps it is because we are actually forming the letters instead of simply selecting them from a keyboard. Writing (vs selecting) is deeper work and therefore more easily remembered.
It would follow that writing on a stone with hammer and chisel would be even more memorable?
I’m going to find me a nice block of stone to carry with me.
Hahahaha! Just be careful of your priceless hands!
There IS something grand to feeling a beautiful pen in your hand, unfurling well-formed letters on a page. I have loved copying volumes in my own hand since I learned to write. I try all manners of penmanship, even printing. But I also love to type, first pecking out the keys quickly and perfectly on my father’s portable, later gliding smoothly over the computer keyboard. I broke typing speed records – well over 100 words per minute on a typewriter. It’s all about a steady rhythm. Close relationship to music!
