Is Technology Ruining Our Ability to Write? - Techlicious - 0 views

  • Check out these findings from Docmail’s study: Two thirds of those surveyed said if they do write something on paper, it’s usually something only they will see, such as a note or reminder. More than half said they don’t take pride in their handwriting. One in five can’t remember the last time they were required to write something neatly. Over half said the quality of their handwriting has noticeably declined, with one in seven being “very ashamed” of it. Nearly half (44%) said their handwriting isn’t easy to read and a third said they often struggle to read their own writing. Even so, remarkably a sixth of those surveyed don’t believe handwriting should still be taught in schools.
  • All this technology is not only affecting the quality of our handwriting, it’s hurting our ability to spell, as well. Four in ten of those surveyed said they increasingly rely on predictive text, which is when your mobile device finishes a word you start to input.
