Using the Pen...to write...

This is really true. I was into my post graduation studies till last year and that was the last time I really used a pen to write my notes and in the examination. Ever since that time I have been doing all work, typing, interacting, emailing on the internet. I might have taken up a pen twice or thrice to jot something, may be two or three lines down but not more than that. I really was reminded how the pen has vanished from my life after reading your post. Some day in the future its importance might fade totally, we never know.

It is really eay to use keyboard or keypad in writing due to technologies that we have now. But still in my work, I still need pen all the time to check papers, receiving documents and other things that involve remarks on papers.

I have never had that legible hand writing, so I find it easier to type. I used to try to write as neatly as everyone else and when my wrist did get injured about ten years ago, found that I could not write as long as I used to. I find it is easier to remember something that I can read that I wrote, although I am a visual learner. I do a lot of crossword puzzles and do them with a pen and of course make my grocery lists with a pen. I really should go back to my journal, but since most of the time it is just complaints, I try to avoid writing.

Hi busybee. I like your topic. I never thought about this before. Actually I like writing even i have become a mother. I remember, when I pregnance for the firs time, I write everyday about my feeling ro be a mom and tell how my baby growth in my diary. now, I use technology gadget. android tablet. so, did not need a pen to write. but Sure we still need it when have to make signature. I still need a pen when I listen guest speaker in seminar or make note before i type in my computer.

I gives me great pleasure to hold a pen and put my handwriting on paper. I love writing and sometimes I get a craving for it, like I just want to WRITE. Then I would write anything. Maybe a diary. I just love putting my thoughts down on paper. And sometimes I crave writing with a pencil too, it has a totally different feeling. I have this habit that if I am holding a pen, I will scribble my name on any surface that I can find, over and over again. When I am on the phone and I start to note something down, you will find after a few minutes that that paper is surrounded by my name everywhere.

It is true that the advancement of technology we have today does reduce the need of using pen or pencil to write. Most of the writing work can be typed using various softwares and programs that computer has. Fortunately, there are still several instances that we may get to use pen and write. Exams for instance, we still uses pen and papers sitting in classroom to answer the questions. Of course some education institutions gradually replaces it with online lectures, quizzes and exams. It is very apparent that technology has a profound influence on our life. Whether it is good or bad will have to depend on how we adapt such technologies in our life.

I guess younger people don't experience this YET. Since in school they always have to write something to practice writing. However, when they turn high school or college I guess this is already a problem, since parents usually allows kids to use gadgets like cellphones, tablet, and laptop. Also, paper notebooks are seldomly used nowadays during class. I don't know if it is only due to habit, but as for me I still am comfortable using pen and paper. For me I tend to memorize what i'm writing that way unlike when i just type it away on my laptop.

I'm an amateur article writer. There are various ways to write an article. I can paraphrase, do drafts or outlines first. But my favorite way of writing is write first on a pen and paper, because it makes me more intuitive regarding my article writing.

I make it a point to write now and then when I feel like it to keep up my penmanship. I also like typing with all my fingers because I am used to it. I’ve not learned to use two fingers or thumbs and don’t think I want to learn. If someone gave me a device with a tiny keyboard for free to use I would use it for reading etc. but not for writing.

At some point i want to become an author (or a chibi artist.) so when i write my stories i always handwrite them out first so as to keep handwriting neat and tidy. i also feel happier writing in pencil or pen than typing up things onto word or onenote.

Hi friend, you are right, now a days we don't use pen frequently, we have email, sms and other communication methods as well as use good software for calculating and auditing purposes, so we don't use pen any more. But since some persons using pen for their essential needs, but the usage is reduced a lot
