Today, other than sending greeting cards by post, we have even started using digital devices such as smartphones and digital computers, typing out the alphabet and numbers for sending applications, messages, and responses. Even today, when we are in the e-age, primary and secondary school children while learning to write lessons, do homework, answer tests, and write essays by hand, and once done, use their smartphones to talk to friends and use WhatsApp.
An article by Charlotte Hu, in the Scientific American citing some research publications says that writing by hand activates a wide range of interconnected brain regions responsible for learning and memory.
In other words, handwriting affects the brain in more positive ways than typing the same material on a keyboard. First, handwriting training not only improves spelling accuracy but also facilitates better memory and recall.
