The article says "handwriting", but there's nothing to support cursive vs. printing as a contributing factor.
Otherwise, I believe it. There's a reason we have a practice called "whiteboarding" in tech, and one of the biggest adjustments to remote work for me has been using digital whiteboards.
- penagwin 6y agoI got an iPad specifically so I could kinda get a hybrid of both technology and handwriting. The new ios hand writing feature made it even better.
- tasogare 6y agoI agree on the iOS 14 handwriting update... for Chinese. Despite normally being easier to process than, the Latin alphabet recognition is poor, in normal condition of writing (i.e. I won’t adjust my writing to olease the system). Or made it’s the model language that only knows English? Anyway it didn’t feel good enough yet for real world usage.
- bmhin 6y agoI believe it to. Anecdotally, my old method for studying while in school was just to handwrite out notes as I read. I would not even go back to review them as the act of simply writing it out by hand was enough to retain it. Typing I feel like is much more autopilot. The amount of times I misspell or write the incorrect word while typing is way higher than anything done by hand. That said, my handwriting is also atrocious and I would not want to ever have to disseminate something in that form over a nice, typed document.
- pizza 6y agoOur brains are (to use a crude analogy) muscle movement computers/orchestra conductors. I reckon there are just more parts of your brain involved creating specific fine motor movements for holding a pen/pencil than just tapping keys that never really move relative to your hands.
