In modern age, some people think it is unnecessary to teach children the skill of handwriting. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some

people

consider that it is not essential to master the

skill

to write by

hand

in

this

era. I strongly disagree with

this

opinion.

Although

, a lot of electronic devices have replaced the need to write things by

hand

, at the time of a technological breakdown immediate solution is to take notes by

hand

.

Furthermore

,

this

skill

is an essential growth factor for both child's brain and fingers. Sophisticated modern technology is slowly replacing most human skills.

People

have started to rely on machines more and more and using them as storage devices for important documents has become a habit. But

this

practice can cause serious consequences in the event of machine breakdown. If

people

know how to write

then

it can save the situation till repairs are done.

For example

, the secretary of a certain company used to take meeting notes using her computer. One day, in the middle of a very important meeting

this

device suddenly stopped working.

However

, the secretary was able to complete her work by writing down everything. Many paediatricians agree that it is important for a child to master

first

, the sill of handwriting rather than the

skill

of typing. When writing by

hand

, the child is introduced to different patterns and directions.

Therefore

, it is considered an essential physical exercise for fingers to grow properly and as a simulation for the brain to develop.

For instance

, a study done by a particular research group shows that toddlers who were

first

taught how to write by

hand

displayed skills in creative handcrafts rather than toddlers who were

first

introduced to typing. In conclusion, I strongly believe that

people

should master the ability to write letters by

hand

as

that is

a

skill

which is unique to human beings.

Hence

, it should not be ignored due to the advancement of technology.

People

should not completely rely on machines to do all the writing without mastering the

skill

themselves as it is obvious that one day or another machine may fail to fulfil its desired task.
