I couldn't agree with you more; writing something by hand is a more expressive act than using technology. There is just something special about putting pen to paper and letting a bit of yourself flow through. It is certainly possible to get the same meaning across via computer or text message, but the background emotion of it is missing. No matter how hard you stab at your keyboard, the characters appear exactly the same as if you had barely tapped them. I have no doubt your feelings can be read right along with your words, and am fairly certain a handwriting analysis expert would agree.

I have no suggestions for improvement - the piece makes your feelings clear. I wonder, though, what you think about the interface between technology and handwriting, of touchscreen software that actually captures your handwriting across the screen? I refer, of course, to advanced software, not just the little text boxes used in Point of Sale devices and such for just a signature. It is an interesting situation, I think.

Thank you for sharing this.
