Proud father of 7, passionate about their future and that of our beloved, America. Thankful to know the difference between what is said and what is truth.
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.

JUST IN: Golf cart owners rally for Trump in The Villages in Florida just one week after Harris supporters held their own golf cart rally in the community.
According to reports, there were about 1000 golf carts for Trump.
For comparison, the Harris golf cart rally had about 400-500 carts. (Yahoo News).
"There are around 1,000 carts here right now and the mood is electric," said co-president of The Villages MAGA Club Valerie Jamieson to GulfLive.
