Wow, using a computer has made me write like a lepper!!!

I sit here infront of my laptop bermused at the fact that I spend so much time on the computer. But what scares me more is that I just finished writing those little cards that you put on the Christmas presents, and man my handwriting has gone down hill. In fact its so far down the hill that it lost cellphone coverage long ago.

It seems that using a computer for everything from letter (email) writing to note taking has caused my hands to freak out when I start to write with a pen. and the worst thing. The other day I went to press the imaginary backspace key after writing a mistake on a christmas card.

What will become of the next gereation?

    Interesting, I didn’t think it refelcts writing as socializing with people. I know few people died from playing computer games without getting away from computer.
    Recently there was news about Arctic will be melted for 50 years so difference that happened from 50’s to new millenium can happen from millenion start to 2050’s
    so I don’t know now to put :) or :(

    I never went for the backspace key, but I did go for Ctrl+Z after I dropped something.

    MrSteel: Did you read the blog entry at all? Just needed to get that out of your system or something?

    When in high school, I spent enough time around the art department that I started writing in all caps. That style generally hasn’t gotten worse, but when I include lowercase letters, those are pretty bad now.

    I should add that the all caps thing is quite common among artistic and creative types (in case the previous comment didn’t make sense).
