Ask HN: Has computer use atrophied your handwriting?

Computer use did not atrophy my handwriting, but it absolutely prevented my handwriting from ever developing legibility in the first place.

> what are you doing to address it?

Slow down and practice seems like the obvious advice.

Yes, I periodically go back and practice writing for a couple weeks (like old classroom exercises, writing the same letters over and over) to get it back into shape, it doesn't take long.

Yes, I noticed my handwriting deteriorating.

I didn't want to lose the skill of handwriting, so I've returned to snail mail :)

I've discovered that my handwritten letters are quite different to my emails. I'm much more relaxed with my pen.

My handwriting quality: No.

How well and quickly I can do it? Yes, absolutely. I had to handwrite a bunch of stuff at work and my hand cramped embarrassingly quickly.

I don't see much reason to address it.

I journal semi regularly using pen and paper though I never really had a great handwriting, but at least, I don't think it has deteriorated.

Yes, entirely, after very many years. Doesn't worry me mutch.

Yes.
