Hey to all my respected moderators and all Steemian friends !

I am here today to participate in @ninapenda ma'am contest. I am grateful her for this chance. I am @m-princess. I am from Pakistan. I am alright and I hope you also will be fine. In this modern world filled with latest mobiles and computers. Now writing has taken a new form. We now type more than we write. But still, handwriting holds a special place in learning and personal expression.

First of all, I would like to invite some of my friends so that they can also participate in the interest and contest.

On the other hand, handwriting means writing with a pen or pencil on paper. It is a more personal and physical form of writing. This have special place for learning and personal experience.

Which do you use more every day: handwriting or digital writing? Express yourself.

I use digital writing more every day. I send messages on WhatsApp, write emails and even make to do lists on my phone. It is faster and easier than handwriting . However, I still write in a notebook when I want to plan deeply or express feelings. Handwriting feels more real and emotional to me. But I use digital Writing most everyday. Digital Writing required no pen, no paper and easy to remove without any problem.

For memory retention, creativity, expression and effective learning, would you go for digital writing or handwriting? Why?

For learning and remembering things, I prefer handwriting. When I write something by hand, it stays in my mind longer. Handwriting also makes me feel more focused and connected to my thoughts. It helps me slow down and think better. When I was student, it was very difficult to learn essay in English language. Then my my favourite teacher Miss Ambreen told me to learn by writing on paper. I did and it works well. Digital writing is fast, but handwriting gives me clarity and creativity.

Should schools still initiate handwriting in this digital age? Do you think it would profit the young ones?

Yes, schools should still teach handwriting. It is important for the brain of children development and learning. It helps kids improve focus, hand control and memory. In my opinion If we stop teaching handwriting, future generations can lose a deep skill that builds patience and personal expression. So, I think hand writing in this digital age will be profitable for young ones.
