Should students be taught typing instead of writing?
Our needs are changing according
the development of our world. Before invention of technology, our ancestors
used much material for writing. They used feathers and ink to write. Lately they
managed somehow writing using pen, pencils , papers and etc. as technology become
more advanced most of us start depending on typing using digital devices instead
of handwriting. It is true that all of the offices, companies of government also
depending on typing as typing is faster and available of beautiful fonts. Also it
can reduce paper work a lot which is environmental friendly.
In my opinion as a teacher we should make
student practice both ways. We need to make them to be familiar with technology
as well as hand writing. Why student should be taught typing is make them
change according to development of world which makes their life easier. Also why
we should teach them writing is many different reasons. One reason is not
stopping the creativity and services. As technology is human made thing and it
might get fail in any minute, in such situations comes also the services should
be run. For these important reasons we need to teach them two different ways.
In conclusion, as we teach them
the use of both and the importance of both writing and typing they will not
hesitate learning any of these. The thing is we need them to understand how
things work and there should be always a way to go on.
