I asked Grok to write my profile tag and this is what he wrote. 👍

@notlouisckk If you can use body wash without drying your scalp out consider it a bonus but some people have to use shampoo to avoid it.
The amount of hair though? If it's in question, shave it off already. 😁👍

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.

Finally an institution willing to speak the truth about education! This is why the CLT is becoming the most popular college entrance exam among Gen Z. They know it actually stands for something.
