Many people think that it is unnecessary to teach children handwriting skills in this technology age. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Technology has influenced every aspect of our life. Some people believe that in

this

modern period, writing

skills

are not required for minors. I strongly agree with

this

statement.

This

essay will discuss the topic and will give a valid conclusion in the end. On the one hand, in

this

modern era, most human

skills

including handwriting have been replaced by hi-tech devices. To commence , tablets and smartphones can be used for teaching typing

skills

to kids

instead

of handwriting which is a time-consuming task.

For instance

, my younger child was unable to learn writing.

Then

I started typing with her on a tablet and now she is an expert in her typing with speed and accuracy.

Moreover

, children who are unable to write

due to

certain physical disabilities can use modern gadgets to communicate through their voice commands.

For example

, Google has an audio feature which can be used to search for anything by speaking specific words about that item.

On the other hand

, handwriting requires a lot of time as compared to typing.

Therefore

, much of our precious time is wasted on

this

task. To illustrate

this

, IELTS candidates appearing in hand-written exams often feel difficulty in completing their tasks within due time compared with computer-based tests which result in bad score records.

Furthermore

, understanding one's handwriting is a challenging job. for, everyone has a different style of writing.

To conclude

,

although

, some people are in favour of teaching writing

skills

to their children. In my opinion, typing is the best way of communicating as it is fast, accurate and more practical than writing.
