Danger of Digital

     While studying for my finals I was reminded again just how much of a difference hand writing makes for memorization. It's so much easier to memorize things when I write them out by hand. I tried creating study sheets on my laptop but they were completely unhelpful. I ended up copying my digital study sheet by hand to learn the material. With the world becoming so heavily digital I wonder what the effect will be on learning. Digital fonts are convenient but might also be harmful to our ability to learn.
