Although I have failed exams because I wrote too much. I was too far off the point. I was using a scattergun approach and hope that some of the bullets will hit the mark. That strategy didn't get me anywhere. So I went back to the basic, and really understand the question and write sufficiently for an answer. That worked. :) I know what you mean Gary.

I wish schools would allow students to type essays on exams. It would be heck of a lot easier physically but also mentally. Ive noticed this myself when I opted to write an essay for an assignment. It was horrible. I was gazing into space and trying to think of the best way to start it and I just couldn't come up with a solution. However with typing its another story. I can express my self in a way that makes my hands and mind as one. Its really like magic. I can continue to keep typing right now if i wanted to because i just have so much to add to this comment box than i would have if i was writing with a lead pencil. Im positive this is a problem that a lot of other people have. My point is, I would get a better mark on in class exams with a typed essay than i would with paper and pen. And thats without spell checks and synonyms. Honestly. I wish schools would allow students to type essays on exams. It would be heck of a lot easier physically but also mentally.

I really think typing shouldn't replace writing, both should complement each other.. i somehow feel that receiving a handwritten card is more personal. I love typing ,yet, i can't live without having to pen down my thoughts. It has to do with access as well.. one pen and paper ... i remember once i was in a meeting, we agreed on the next meeting date, half had PDA, another half had paper diary. By the time the PDA people switched on their toy and jot it down, the conventional paper diary people were on their way out of the room! Paper diaries do not need battery, no recharge required.. although one can argue you can search on diary like in PDA... a matter of comfort i guess.. THanks.. you know what.. i guess you are a N - acccording to Myers Briggs personality test.. keep on writing and reflecting... can't grow without reflection huh? =) irene -primary school friend of wai kea You can write well !

It makes my mind go slower and I enjoy the actual words more. One problem tho, is that sometimes my writing gets very sloppy when I write fast and then I can't read it! Thx for dropping by my blog!

Just like how we could one day forget how to write again? What about other common activities like driving. Will we forget how to drive one day? Is this the natural evolution of the age of information, where collectively we have a lot of information, but individually we lack information?
