A Typed Word On The Importance Of The Hand Written
A Typed Word On The Importance Of The Hand Written
…The dangers of online communication consists of the illogical acceptance that worthwhile human connections can, in the digital age, be condensed into the simple reception (receival) of typed words or sentences. The truth of the matter is, real connection is all too often felt rather than spoken. The simple physical presence of the other does matter. Handwriting is important because it…

A ‘callow creature’ was what he was at the time, as he notes in his diary in 1916. He could expect no guidance from either his parents or his teachers.
