Our muscles that we use to write must have atrophied because I found it agonizing to write for three hours straight during my last exam. Don\'t even get me started on the quality of my once-envied script! The horror! I agree with Beau: writing hours-long exams HURTS!

I think that there are many people out there that have actually have forgot how to write. I am actually the same way with my sidekick and usually take it out for notes. About a year ago I started a new job, and they had a Wacom tablet for all my photo editing needs, I was actually frighten by it. It took time for me to get comfortable with holding a pen again. Then I found it good that I am now actually writing all my photo shoot ideas and lighting layouts in an old \"Composition Book\" so that I can actually get use to writing again.<br><br>I had a similar talk with some of my friends parents the other day about how it is actually rare for people to remember addresses and phone numbers for even the closest of friends because we are so use to having our cell phones to pull up the information.

Being 26, by the time I hit Junior High I was typing 70 wpm... I stopped handwriting except in class. When I went to college I took a laptop to class for notes; thus completely eliminating handwriting from my life. Even my checks are printed by quicken. So when I go to grab a pen now I am completely useless. Except for blue book tests in college, I havent had a real use for handwriting in ten years... Should this bother me? Maybe so, but it doesnt; I just don\'t care. I have a computer within reach almost 100% of the time... My laptop sits next to my bed. Handwriting is antiquated technology; good riddance.

What were they thinking? No computers! No need to sweat the small stuff. It time to worry about the bigger picture. How could technology help in situations where there is limitations? Why in certain situtions must we still be controlled by primitive methods? Really?? What were they thinking? No computers! No need to sweat the small stuff. It time to worry about the bigger picture.

There\'s something personal about your own handwriting that a fancy word processor can never bring out. It\’s a pity that we don\’t write (that much) anymore.

All year and summer I\'m on the computer and next thing you know, school is in session and I have to write again. The pen just sorta sits in my hand and scribbles until i realize i dont need to actually take notes for this class. I seem to do it every summer when college starts up again.
