Handwriting seems to be something which degrades over time
when coupled with the use of keyboards. I used to have highly
decorative, flowing handwriting which people admired. Now it just
looks like Arabic and even I can't read it, and any letter or
card I am forced to write, or form I have to fill in, with a
pen will have gazillions of crossings out, and look hideously messy. Thankfully, I am in a
field of work where job adverts never say: "Apply in writing"..
Keyboards are just better, let's face it. Most computer
people can type at the speed at which they think. In the time it
takes to write something with a pen, you could have done 10 word
perfect (unintentional pun there) versions on a keyboard, had
several cups of tea and gone for a walk. Down with these primitive
tools!
