Actually, I think it’s a clever way to save their industry in a changing culture. Show scientific benefits. It’s what I’d advise. :)

bs. "Scientific benefits" rationalization never work to sell anything. Only way to save industry is to make it relevant.

But it *is* relevant. That’s what the science shows. I handwrite all my research notes. Probably always will. Helps me think better.

Not relevant enough to prevent handwriting becoming an occasional thing like horse-riding rather than mainstay.

For some, prob. It likely depends on the person’s industry. Programming, not relevant. Research, I’d say it helps to write things out

It's Plato and Phaedrus all over again. Takes 3-4 generations for culture+ brains to reflect mastery of new tools.

I do a shit ton of handwriting, digital writing, hand-diagrams, digital drawings, I do everything.
