In the digital （数字的） world, it is far more convenient to send a text or email than send a letter. Is the writing style with a traditional pen and paper worth passing on? Is it out of date?Well, some people believe that writing is still useful, so maybe it's not time to throw away your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.
Nowadays, when people require things in writing, a typed, electronic document（文件） will be mostly accepted. It could be written, saved and sent by email. But making a handwritten document is special. It needs planning and thought, as well as practicing your handwriting. It helps you remember the spelling of words.
Some experts believe it is helpful to our brains to write with pen and paper. This is especially true for students. It is because typing notes into a computer doesn't have enough feedback（反馈） to the brain. However, writing with pen and paper does.
According to BBC Work life website, when taking notes by hand, our brains take part in summarizing, organizing and words building. In other words, it helps train our brains. And handwriting may do good to fine skills in our hands and fingers.
Besides, writing down notes, shopping lists, or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful in our daily lives. A handwritten letter to a friend or loved one may be more meaningful.
Katherine Moller, a writer, told the BBC, "In a world where it is so easy to go online to send an email or a fast text, it is so personal and joyful to read a letter from others, because they choose to spend some time with you. "
