An interesting question to all professionals. Your Handwriting is same like in School days?

Let recall our school days, still do you have the same writing style like in our school days? Being relied too much on computers and smart phones. Didn’t most of us have not so good hand writing? Or relying on technology didn’t affect our style? On serious note I have lost my charm :) do YOU? Have your say.

No, It's not the same sadly enough. People, who knew my old one, never let a chance go by without highlighting how ugly it has become now compared to how "artistic" it used to be! It's probably because I hardly write anything using my hand since years! I can still draw nice Arabic calligraphy on walls though!

 

Keyboards of computers and mobile phones have forsaken my old "talent". Yet, I can’t curse them even if I want to.

I have retained pretty much the same cursive handwriting skills I have been taught in school. Yet when filling forms and such, I use block capitals rather than my usual handwriting which makes it easier for non-native English speakers to understand. Nowadays I have notice that many people cannot read cursive script.

In school days my hand writing was not good but with the passage of time I have imporved it due to so many reasons, i.e. I have been a columnist, poet, and office clerk, and during may career I have done a lot of work through hand writing. And even these days I daily write a page or two in my hand writing.

The thing i 've noticed is that, almost all professionals maintain their handwriting except for doctors. They change their handwriting a lot that their prescriptions could only be read by a pharmacist who hs done spl course jst for reading their prescriptions.

My answer is NO. However, I have recognized the fact that we are so spoiled with the digital tools these days that I often force myself to write things down, simply to keep the "writing" practice in my system. Additionally in some of my research, I purposefully write notes as opposed to typing them because my handwriting was nice back in the days

Yes, my handwriting is not same as school days, because we are not using ball pens or pens to write mostly computerized document is being used. I want to point out something hand writing greatly affected by your emotion also, I have discovered that whenever I am sad or happy my writing would on both modes.
