The usage of electronical devices has increased in the last decade. As most people rather use mobile phones or laptops, handwriting looses its importance. This essay will highlight on the one hand the reasons as well negative effects for this development. In the modern time everyone has a mobile devise in their pocket and therefore the mobile phone is just one hand grip away. The technology time is a fast time. Everything has to be done, as quick as possible. It is easier to grap the phone to write a shopping list or even a letter than easily take the time to look for pen and paper. Additional, parents who are also role models, use their phone all the time and everywhere. For example on the playground and while they push the stroller, the phone is their constant companion. As a consequence children develop a similar behavior. All this leads to the non paper and pen revolution. However, I am a strong advocate of the traditional way of writing. Handwriting is a culture skill which exists for hundreds of years. It is a loose of culture and even individual identity, because every handwriting has its own beauty. In addition, Finland the pioneer of computer based education, is going back to paper and pen. due to the fact recent studies have shown students writing and reading skill worsen significant regarding through their technical approach of education. Moreover, many children even suffer from impaired vision as another side effect of bright screens. Despite the disadvantage of writing without a pen or pencil, there are also benefits which be can not be unseen such as quick corresponding. In my opinion both ways have the right to existence, and we ought to find a way to balance both.
