"Contest| From pen to screen: How writing has changed in the 21st century!"
Judging from your knowledge, What is "Digital writing and what is Handwriting?"
The main idea behind digital writing is writing text using electronic devices, basically anything with a screen. People can write by typing, using a stylus on a touchscreen, or saying their text for the software to recognize and write. Because digital writing contains multimedia components and can be edited, it is easy to share with others.
However, to write by hand means to use pens or pencils and similar tools to write on papers or similar surfaces. You can see the writer’s personality along with his or her stylistic choices when reading poetry.
Even though digital writing encourages speedy and teamwork, handwriting helps you keep things in memory and develop fine motor control. There are unique reasons to use both forms of writing: pen and paper helps with personal activities, and digital text tools are useful for professional or online purposes.
Which do you use more everyday: handwriting or digital writing? Express yourself.
To me I do use digital writing every day over handwriting, and it brings me lots of happiness and working with digital writing, I am able to share ideas, create material, and communicate at a very fast pace. My ideas come together no matter if I am typing, chatting, or editing; everything is accessible to me instantly. It is easy for me to write my ideas in order, fix any issues, and improve the text by adding visuals, links, or videos.
I can use it anywhere and at any time, because everything is already available on the cloud. Even though handwriting is attractive, digital writing is more efficient and has no limits. Because English speaks to the modern era, I use it each time I learn, relate to others, or create. A keyboard and a screen offer many more possibilities than just pressing buttons.
For memory retention, creativity,expression and effective learning, would you go for digital writing or handwriting, Why?
If I want to keep information in my mind, share my thoughts, and improve my learning, I would write things by hand. Writing down my notes allows me to focus better on what I’m studying. Writing by hand helps my memory work better since it stimulates various areas of my brain.

Creativity can come from writing by hand because you can draw pictures, make notes with pictures, and map out ideas any way you like on paper. It gives a chance to let thoughts flow without any interruptions from technology. Despite the usefulness of digital devices, writing things by hand is more effective in learning. Writing and thinking game best when you use a pen and paper.
Should schools still initiate handwriting in this digital age? Do you think it would profit the young ones?
Yo be honest we should not lose the need for handwriting at school, as it is still useful and would be a big help to young students. When people write by hand, it helps their small muscle movements, coordination of hands and eyes, and improves their memory and focus. Doing handwriting tasks encourages children to interact with the subject, boosting what they learn and remember.
It allows kids to be creative and unique since each child’s handwriting is not the same. Although being good at technology is necessary now, learning to write by hand helps people to calm down and concentrate better. It gives students a firm base to start learning in the beginning stages of school. Rather than leaving out handwriting, schools should make sure to include digital literacy as well. Saving handwriting is helpful since it is a useful tool used in thinking and daily writing.
