Lonan3 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 TIMES LINK The benefits are obvious - and are briefly explained in the article - but is there a downside. Is it likely to be another nail in the coffin of handwriting, for example; a skill whose use may not be as extensive as it once was but is still required on occasions? Without proper positioning and lighting, could it lead to eye-strain, or even posture problems? Is it likely to be one of those experiments that are acclaimed and then gradually fade away, or is this really an example of the future of classroom teaching?

Bananaman Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Is it likely to be another nail in the coffin of handwriting, for example; a skill whose use may not be as extensive as it once was but is still required on occasions? Could it be viewed as a part of our evolution? A bit like text speak rather irritatingly taking over long hand? Wasn't all that long a go that there wasn't a letter s in our alphabet? Wonder if there were people around kicking up a fuff then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh? If you mean ſ, it is in fact a different form of lower case 's', not an 'f'. </pedantry> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
