Blog #8

The 2 additional articles I decided to add to my final paper are as follows: The first article is called "If U Cn Rd This . . .;" and it discusses how penmanship skills are diminishing and that technology is to blame. It also discusses that "warnings" are being issues about the sloppiness of handwriting. It's an interesting article because it also mentions how the same thing happened about a hundred years ago...people were concerned about the growth of technology and they also issues "warnings" telling people that technology was the culprit and the reason for people's sloppy handwriting skills. This ties in perfectly with my thesis because now not only does it support what i'm saying but it also addresses the issue from a societal and historical angle.

The article says that handwriting is now so poor and sloppy that it is the perfect time for software giants to market handwriting-to-computer software and hardware tablets. This article helps my thesis in that it helps to somewhat predict the future of handwriting as well as the technology that will facilitate this fate. The link to the article is HERE
