Yes: handwriting still matters.
A new study has confirmed that writing by hand activates far more complex and widespread neural networks in the brain than typing, underscoring its importance for learning and memory.
Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology used a high-density EEG cap with 256 electrodes to record brain activity in university students. They found that the intricate, sensory-rich movements involved in handwriting, especially cursive, trigger highly synchronized brain waves across extensive areas of the parietal and central regions. These coordinated patterns are strongly linked to memory formation, cognitive processing, and encoding new information.
In contrast, typing, which involves repetitive, simpler finger movements, produced significantly less neural connectivity and engagement. The difference was striking: the brain appears much less active during digital writing.
The researchers conclude that the unique motor and sensory experience of holding a pen plays a key role in brain development and learning. As a result, they argue that handwriting instruction should remain a core part of education to support deeper comprehension and cognitive growth in the next generation.

Millions of Americans are unemployed, but big business is still demanding access to cheaper foreign labor. Why? Because they don't want to pay living wages.
Join the movement. Tell the special interests it's time to #reduceforeignlabor and get America back to work.

This is a disgrace. @realDonaldTrump is the first American Politician to address the scourge of human trafficking and fund it and no one has any interest in covering it.
I guess they’re too busy running cover for Hollywood.
I did more in 47 months than Biden did in 47 years. A VOTE for Republicans is a VOTE for SAFE communities, great JOBS, and a limitless FUTURE for ALL AMERICANS! https://t.co/gsFSgh2KPc
@Hoosiers1986@realDonaldTrump God can only be known as a human being, the divine human. There is no such thing as an amorphous cloudy supreme being. Jesus is with me and loves me more than I can possibly know - in every particular way; and the same is true for everyone!
