Hello friends

Judging from your knowledge, What is "Digital writing and what is Handwriting?"

From my knowledge, digital writing involves typing on any electronic devices. It simply means the use of keyboards or keypads, joystick and your screen. Digital writing could be on a phone, laptops and tablets.

Handwriting involves the use use of a pen on a paper or board. Handwriting is more old fashioned than digital writing. Handwriting could be seen as manual writing or you can say analogue.

Which do you use more everyday: handwriting or digital writing? Express yourself

I actually use both the handwriting and digital writing. I use handwriting because I still have books I write on although I will soon change the narrative.

I also use digital writing every day because am always on social media typing and chatting especially on steemit where I either verify posts or make entries.

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

Well for me, I would chose digital writing for memory retention because the book you wrote and information while using handwriting could get missing or some thing bad happens to it.

For creativity I would also choose digital writing. There are so many fonts and formats on our phones, tab or laptops that can help improve what we are writing about. For example when using handwriting, you can not change style or fonts of your writing but with digital writing it is definitely possible.

I would definitely choose digital writing any time and any day. It is faster and much effective to use.

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

Yes I definitely think schools should initiate handwriting in this digital age. Children needs to know how to use their hands to write. It is a basic learning.

It will definitely profits them. They need to know that there is something called handwriting even if the world is going digital.

As long as children in school still makes use of books then handwriting should continue. It will help them improve on their writing skills.
