The Importance Of Typing

Technology has integrated our lives. We depend on technology for everything around us. Communication, transportation, entertainment all relies on technology heavily, as well as text writing, in which we refer to as typing.

But although many individuals and corporations prefer typing to handwriting for work, handwriting should not be obsoleted. Adults and children alike should constantly practice

A study found that more than 50% of today’s jobs require some degree of skills related to technology, computer, and keyboard usage, and not many require handwriting skills. Such frequent use of modern technologies may lead to important changes in human basic psychomotor and cognitive skills. These changes are likely because of reduced practice and training of specific skill, which results in tasks being taken over by cognitive tools like keyboards. Such lack of practice not only selectively damage the specific untrained skill, but can spread up and affect a much wider range of human skills. Many researchers are now investigating the influence of modern technologies on human abilities to raise awareness of the possible losses that come along with the latest technologies, and the possible impact on individuals and society as a whole. In addition, the resulting loss of basic human skills could lead to increasing technology dependency, which in turn could further damage fundamental human skills and negatively influence many other
