At the bank recently, a simple task turned tricky when I had to write a letter to close my account. My handwriting, once stable and neat, now looked all squiggly! It hit me—I hadn’t written by hand in decades. Today, most of us type away on WhatsApp, emails, or phones without ever holding a pen. This shift started when computers began ruling our world in the late 1900s. Word processors kicked out typewriters, then smartphones and the internet took over. Typing is super fast and handy. You can edit, share, and save your words in seconds. But there’s a catch. Handwriting used to be an important part of growing up. Schools spent lots of time teaching it. Remember those notebooks with red margins and scary teachers watching every letter? One wrong ‘g’ could mean trouble! Writing by hand wasn’t just about notes; it helped us learn, think, and grow our brains. Nowadays, writing notes by hand almost feels old-fashioned. But it’s still a special way to connect—with ourselves and others. Handwriting is an art, personal and unique, and it’s worth keeping alive. Think about the 1950s, before phones and internet ruled. Postcards were like tiny treasure chests. Getting one from a friend or family member was pure joy! We waited eagerly for the postman, and those handwritten words kept our writing sharp. Postcards even taught us to be clear and quick with words because space was tight. Today, instead of postcards, people snap photos, slap on filters, and post instantly on social media. The sweet "Wish you were here" note is now just a digital caption. The postcard's heyday ended with phones and the internet. Handwriting is fading, not because it’s useless, but because we forgot how special it is. It is one of the most personal ways to express ourselves. Let’s not just remember this lost art—let’s bring it back!
