Writing on paper
Have you ever experienced that phenomenon where you start writing on paper and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, you make an error.
Now, for some people, like me, you immediatly start looking for the backspace button. And no, I have actually found myself wishing for a backspace. So, what do you do? You scratch out your word and write it correctly. Either that, or you Tipp-Ex it out. Now you have this ugly blotch on your page, which offends most people’s eyes.
But there are worse things in the world. Like when you write a word, you change your mind, and you scratch it out and you end up writing that exact same word again after more consideration. Pathetic!
So, you may ask, what is my point? My point is that paper and pens should be completely removed from our current schooling system. Now, before you start bashing me because I am endlessly stupid, consider the following:
- When you do not use paper, a tree could be saved. Now doesn’t that mean something?
- Pens and paper have a limit. You have to spend money to purchase them. If you were to use computers, you would eliminate that need. Computers have a endless supply of…virtual paper.
- Teachers will have a much better time marking. Why? How many times to you have trouble reading someone’s handwriting? There you go.
- In an age where computers are the future of our world, knowing them (or at least frequently working on them) is of cardinal importance.
I know that someone, somewhere will say that we will loose our ability to write, but how many of us actually still possess the ability to write neatly? Especially teenagers, these days.
Computers are the future of the world, so why not embrace it. I know that the initial investment will be a little expensive, but why not invest in the future.
Also, I forgot to mention: I type MUCH faster than I write. Even if you type one letter per socond, it is a fact that you will finish faster (and more neatly) than with a hand written product.
