Good handwriting may be the clue to the success!!

Nowadays, computers, tablets, mobile phones and other technologies are very present in our lives, but is the pen still mightier than the keyboard? It dependes on how you see it.

On the one hand, technologies are so fast that handwriting is dissapearing,especially in many work places. Email and texting have replaced snail mail and in many schools they use computers instead of pen and sheet of paper. In addition, experts say that using a keyboard is easier than learning to write.

On the other hand, paper allows you to write anywhere and keep to set margins or not. And it has three dimensions too, so you can cut out, stapled or glued. Nevertheless when you write with pen and a sheet of paper, you can see words crossed out or corrected, things that don´t happen when you write with a keyboard.

In my opinion, keyboard is a excellent tool to work fast and easily and it allows you to rectify, but I think that pen and paper is something that we should not ever forget. Definitely I prefer handwriting because it´s what we use every day, especially at school.
