Do you write with pen and paper?

I've been writing online for years in various formats, including article sites, blogs and forums, so my hands are accustomed to using the keyboard.

Now, I feel more comfortable working on the computer than writing with pen and paper.

I write to a pen pal on occasion, but not enough to really say. That's one unfortunate thing with technology... The constant loss of actual writing skills. Even in schools it's more about computers, and typing than handwriting. Who needs to learn how to spell, when there is spell check, right?

As great as all the advancements of technology are... It's societies downfall, as we become more reliant on it for it's convenience, and it does all the "thinking" work for us.

What's 12 x 12? Oh I'll get the calculator...lol

Yes, technology had downgraded our physical movement. Nobody is willing to hold onto a pen or paper anymore since smartphone allows you to write with your fingertip. People are getting lazy with writing. Even folks are using recorded voice to send messages through smartphone!

The only time I write with a pen is when it's rent time and then I write out a check for the landlord. But other than that, everything is done with an iPhone, iPad, or computer. An occasional signature might be required on a piece of paper but that's also rare.

At times, I feel more at ease with my pen and journal than even my laptop as I can take it with me, tucked into a pocket. I might not want to take my laptop everywhere as it would only encourage me to unplug from my surroundings and put my head back into the computer. And, doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting up from the computer and taking time away for a real life?

If I'm going to the store I might write a grocery list on paper but it's not like I'm going to compose an article with pen and paper as there are computer programs that can help you do this more efficiently.

Though I don't write in this way, I have heard about other authors who write on legal notepads with pen and this is an idea that works to inspire their own creativity. And, I would just encourage them to go with what is working, rather than changing to something which is working for someone else.

At one time, I wrote all my ideas on paper and had boxes and binders for all the things related to my writing. That was ages ago and now I really enjoy writing on my computer. It helps to be able to type fast to get the ideas down before they slip away.

I have left writing with pen on paper for more than six years. I write everything on my laptop.

At this point, I find it difficult to even scribble handwriting with a pen as my hands are not accustomed anymore to using a pen. I don't find it very comfortable at all. There are all kinds of note apps on smart phones now, so no real reason to use post its for reminders.

This seems like an inefficient way to earn money as you would write so much slower on a pad of paper than if you were to just use your keyboard. Also, old fashioned too, so I can't figure why anyone would want to use this method.

There are some really cool apps you can use on a smart phone to take notes or for almost any type of writing. Technology replaces the writer's notepad.

Typing is better than writing.

Maybe at some time in the future, typing out content or simply speaking into a device (that translates voice to text) will be the only way to communicate. Hopefully that will happen soon as my handwriting was never that good anyway.

I don't think that I would resort to writing long hand for creative writing, though I have read how George Lucas wrote his script for Indiana Jones in this way. I don't know if it's true, but if so, then maybe that is his secret of creative success.

I can't really be bothered to write notes anymore as I use a mobile app for notetaking. I can email my notes to anyone, even myself and check when I'm on my laptop. It's a convenient way to keep up with my ideas.

Today, I used my phone app to call someone on my computer and used a pen and paper to write down an phone number given to me by the automated message on the other end of the line. It was an unusual mix of new tech and very old tech for getting business done but it worked out.

No one uses pen and paper anymore! That seems so old fashioned. And, maybe it will be out of style completely within the next twenty years. After all we won't want to cut down any more trees for paper to write on.

While I agree that we would save trees from destruction, you have to understand that you are using fuel resources to power your computer and devices.

So it's not like you are using an environmentally friendly option for writing.

Maybe you could use an erasable board for your notes. In that way, you are only using one surface, not multiple sheets of paper.

And, this is a technology free option. You can easily buy dry erase board at the store for a few dollars.

And, one day children will not even know how to write with their hands and will only type out what they want to say. It won't be necessary in the future to write with so many tech gadgets to make communication easy.

At school of course students still write using pen and paper

Many schools are using computers, so children are having to be more computer savvy and literate now. I'm worried that children will just use the computers for fun and gaming though, not learning activities.

I prefer to write with a keyboard, always

. More so if I am composing an article and ideas come and go then I can rearrange ideas easily. Still not offering to write any articles as a service here in SEOClerks as I am still practicing it a bit first. I'm writing articles for some of my own sites, when I get more used to it I may offer such a service here. And I will have some examples to show by doing so, also :-).

Lately I'm using a sticky notes app on my desktop, suggested by Angie.

I am able to keep track of many things in this way from grocery list needs to daily chores and job related tasks.

Very useful.

I really only use pen and paper for quick notes for reference when writing or totaling up what i am owed from clients - quick little things like that. Others mentioned the sticky notes things as a desktop app - I also use that but mainly to remind me of things or writing my daily to do list so that I already know what I have to do for the next day.

In the past, when I was still writing for Bubblews ( which is a dead site now ), I used to write down my articles in pen and paper before I type them out and publish. Nowadays, since I can type out articles in Ms word or evernote, it is easier and quick since I can save, copy and paste them on the writing sites, check for grammar and spelling mistakes. I do still use pen and paper for writing notes for my kids when I am out. I also jot down my daily earnings with pen and paper.

I don't feel comfortable writing with pen and paper and it is as a result of how comfortable that I've becoming working on my smartphone devices. However, I would have to try out if I can use pen and paper to write in the future.
