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.

if Hunter Biden failing to pay his taxes on time has you outraged, wait until you hear about the guy who tried to overthrow his own government because he was mad about being a big fucking loser and then stole classified war plans and stashed them in the shitter of his tacky vermin-infested golf motel
After Trump’s indictment by Fani Willis in Fulton County, Georgia, he made a post on Truth Social claiming he would hold a press conference on Monday, to release a “CONCLUSIVE Report” about Election Fraud in Georgia.
Georgia’s Republican Governor Brian Kemp, soon after this news broke, responded and said, “The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward - under oath - and prove anything in a court of law.”
Then Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sided with Kemp, while former Vice President Mike Pence explicitly said, “The Georgia election was not stolen.”
Now, Trump’s own lawyers are essentially begging him not to hold the press conference. According to ABC News, his lawyers told him it will only complicate his legal troubles and suggested that he cancel it.
Do you think Trump will still hold the Press Conference and release the report?
Isn’t it kind of nuts to suggest that Trump would have evidence of widespread election fraud, but he wouldn’t file it in the courts or turn it over to law enforcement?
If there was really election fraud, don’t you think Mike Pence would also be making the claim, rather than refuting it? How long will MAGA supporters believe these allegations?
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if Republicans really cared about:
- KIDS, they'd stop passing laws for them to marry at 15, and allowing them to work in factories
- the ECONOMY, they'd stop trying to crash it with stupid debt ceiling games
- SENIORS, they’d stop trying to kill Social Security and Medicare
- the FLAG, they wouldn’t beat cops with it during an insurrection
- CRIME, they'd do something to help get guns off the streets
- VETERANS, they'd stop trying to cut their damn benefits
REPUBLICANS ONLY CARE ABOUT THE RICH.
The Washington Post criticized President Biden for not allowing the press at his daughter's wedding more than they criticized former President Trump for hosting a Holocaust-denier for dinner:
BREAKING: President Biden has BLOCKED the promotion of Lt. General Piatt who reportedly rejected calls to deploy the National Guard on January 6 and allegedly later lied about it to Congress. Good!
@pfcgos1 @faithinbones@Keck553@JoeBiden So, is that fraudulent borrowing or just plain stealing? I can't decide, but it seems like there should be some kind of legal charges.
