The lost art of penmanship

February 20, 2007 at 12:00 am (Rant)

I wonder how long it will be before the art of penmanship will become specialized. I ended up having to write today when I was away from my desk, my PDA, and my cell phone. The only time I really use pen and paper is when i’m signing my name to something. Phone numbers that’s the cell phone, grocery list that’s the PDA, and now the journal has been replaced by the computer keyboard. I found crossing out less elegant than backspace…I frowned upon the random distances between my spaces…and then I snapped out of it and started doodling. I find it interesting that I have so many other options to actually writing on paper, and how I usually chose that other option. Maybe its because i’m a lefty with a mutant like pen grip that always leaves ink on the side of my hand.
