When writing anything was pen to paper in the activity of the brain mechanisms which when pressed on the screen do not work. Letter - the best prevention of Alzheimer's disease, for example.

Having written a thought - it was written, not by putting into the device - you can train your memory at the same time - it captures information at the level of fine motor skills.

Paper diary allows you to structure plans and tasks much better than any of the program and provides an opportunity - with archive storage, of course - to quickly relive the events after years.

Plying from device to device and from platform to platform does not provide this possibility.

The beating of thought looks at you with sheet.

Aesthetics. Mankind sanded culture of writing thousands of years. The whole history of the modern input information has not and 50 years. Childhood - pants with straps. Letter - not just text. But the handwriting, but the texture of the paper, particularly ink. Handle - as the creator of the tool from the penny to the rarity of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This style is a beauty.

Alas, Tapan on oleophobic - is not aesthetic. And not even the birth of her.

Tablet and stylus - yes, perhaps. But why? Changeling entities emulation of reality. Technology for technology's sake.

The question, rather, conceptual and even philosophical.

When you write, you think. Weigh. Your hand drives inspiration, emotion and talent. As a result of the beating of thought looks at you with sheet. You can even track - how everything evolved from erasures, corrections and footnotes. Take a look at the manuscript Pushkin, Dostoevsky and understand everything. One drawing female profile in the fields say about the poet more than the entire article on the wiki.

Another level of creativity.

Irreparable, leaving a mark on history.

Many fonts. But handwriting - does not print. How to print to convey the excitement, emotion, strength? How's Arthur Conan Doyle:

The letter was written in a large firm hand... in a moment of irritation.

You feel? Handwriting as a mirror of the soul, like a portrait. This is not the auto-corrector in the Word and not a figment of midnight labors designer beetle, it is from the heart. The story says the handwriting - the war on the doorstep. He says firmly and clearly.

A bit about the aesthetics. It is difficult to explain, you need to try. We need a good pen and paper. Good handle - always a fountain, Montblanc and Montegrappa fit. Pen - gold, size M. Paper - you can simply a sheet of writing, but it is better a good notebook, Paperblanks suitable or Moleskine. The ink of the same name to the handle.

Think and write something decent to leave a trace on paper.

Ink obediently stele for the pen tip shiny silk ribbon, it dries, silk turns to satin. Pushing, sliding, tactile feedback, inspiration and pleasure from the fact that once the random thoughts become reality. Not a set of bytes, but something concrete and definitive.
