It’s has been a couple of weeks since the Apple iPad has been presented to the World.  I saw the keynote of iPad and, as the whole world has already mentioned, it’s a giant iPod Touch/iPhone.

I agree with them. But today at the office I started thinking about penmanship. We live in a world in which, I think, penmanship is not seen any more. So you may be asking what does the iPad have to do with penmanship since you type your messages? Well, I have a tablet PC, and it has been one of the best purchases that I have done. It’s about 3, 4 years old, but it still runs like new. The perks of it are that I can write on it with the styles/pen it came with and practice my penmanship. I still need to work on my penmanship, but at least I can practice my handwriting. I know that today, in universities and in the business world, people like to type out reports because it’s much easier to read than trying to understand your handwriting. Plus writing a 7 page essay in your handwriting is going to leave a major cramp in your hand.

Where am I’m going with this is? Well, maybe it’s that love is in the air or there is a certain chick flick coming soon, but keep penmanship alive and kicking people. Write something once and a while, like a letter or something, don’t become overwhelmed with the digital age of typing all the time.

My final thought is this, for this Valentines Day or in the near future, write a letter, not an email, to that special someone. They will appreciate an old fashion letter and treasure it for years. Plus, it’s a hit with the ladies.

Jose Out!
