Typing vs. Writing

[Georgia Galaxy]

I like both and how I use both everyday, you can have a preference or choose both ^^

 

[Mr. Stevens]

I like both for different reasons. I always preferred typing, because I can keep up with my thoughts more, and it's easier to organize and complete everything. But, typing a lot on the computer makes me feel really sick and get insomnia now. So I tend to write a lot by hand (when writing for myself).

How did I learn to type well with bad coordination? In my high school typing class I sat next to a guy and we would trade insults about each other's moms while trying to get perfect typing scores. It was an amazing technique.

Me too, for a while I was only typing because I'm experienced with the internet, but now I use both. I also keep private and personal things offline which is very wise. Writing and drawing by hand can feel more natural and intimate ^^. Aww that sounds funny lol, I was doing typing test for fun and I would let my friends try it

Sorry, I meant stuff I write of my own motivation. Not private. I'd love to share it, but I have to write/revise by hand, then type (piecemeal) when I'm done. It's deeply aggravating. And my hand hurts very easily from Lyme Disease exacerbating any normal soreness.

I have a thing for odd games involving composure. Some of my high school friends and I used to play tag in Walmart, too. Which means looking calm, relaxed, and like a shopper. Because the staff start following you when they see you looking over your shoulder a lot...and avoiding them is like a game within a game.

I like handwriting, but I was writing something the other day and I'm appalled by how rusty my handwriting skills are. I have written less by hand and it sure gets rusty fast. Getting tired in the hand and not writing as nice and tidy as I used to. People used to compliment my writing. I guess it has to be trained back to normal. Darn keyboards.

I have copper plate cursive, (Grandma taught me the summer I turned four), so when I write it looks very nice. Downside is my brain often moves five times faster than my hand so typing is a necessary evil.

On the flipside, I do compile favourite pieces into several journals, I keep for that sole purpose.

Either a pen & paper or a manual typewriter. I keep both on my desk still because they are faster & there is no eyestrain.

I used to have a 1970s typewriter that I used a lot, typewriters are nice. It just takes a little more focus when it doesn't have a "fix error" button and you have to start over when you make an error.

Aww that's okay ^^ <3

Aww that's cool, I was kinda going for an old fashioned style with the 2nd image I used lol. Hm.. that does seem harder.

I really love your handwriting :0 Mine is really neat like that too. It used to be unreadable and too small when I was a kid/early teen. I love the creative way you posted this : )

Handwriting is for shopping lists, windshield notes and bloodless self flagellation. The keyboard was man’s first bionic device, while the trackball was divine intervention into the affairs of men.

Ah, I remember the days when accuracy was proven when the bottle of whiteout got gummy before it was used up, like a stubby pencil with a perfect eraser.

Hard to write on my lap, difficult to type as i can no longer touch type, hunt and peck for now due to stroke.

I physically can’t hand write for medical reasons, and when I try it looks awful.
I type everything. When I was in school I had permission to use a computer because writing by hand causes me pain and anxiety.

Drawing isn’t as stressful but even then I prefer to use a tablet.

Aww it's okay. You're making a good decision for yourself ^^

I prefer typing because it's easier for me to organize my thoughts that way compared to handwriting, I can't exactly backspace and reword myself when I try to think of what I want to say if I were writing something by hand VS me typing it out.

I have never liked writing stuff by hand for a variety of reasons, I think part of it is because I am left-handed and when I was in school, a lot of the desks are made for right-handed people and so I would often have to angle myself weirdly when sitting so I could write but that just resulted in me getting cramps and aches in my wrist. When I was at home, it was fine but writing stuff by hand in school was annoying because they had no left-handed desks.
