Tragedies,\ndramas, sonnets <\/strong>\u2013 the literary legacy of William Shakespeare must have\nbeen penned by a veritable workaholic, or at least so it seems. When it comes\nto the amount of works of poetry a writer produces in a lifetime, the\nsophisticated British aesthete is still second to none. His writing pace seems\neven more astonishing, if we consider the period of his creative work. In the\nabsence of any practical alternatives, Shakespeare tamed the English language\nwith pen and paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRomeo and Juliet\u201d,<\/em> \u201cHamlet\u201d<\/em> and \u201cMacbeth\u201d \u2013 they all emptied their\ntragedy on paper in nothing more than a river of ink.               <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countless possibilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The unbelievable\ndiscipline writers of past times must have had to complete their works of art comes\nclose to self-chastisement. After all, the stories today transformed into\ndigital black in the blink of an eye once required hours, days and sometimes\neven years of drawing individual letters on paper. In other words, the ongoing\ndigitalisation not only changed our reception but also our conception of\nliterature. Whether we write emails, love letters or entire books \u2013 the\ninvention of the computer changed the very basics of text production. Against\nthis backdrop, the concept of efficiency is always at the forefront of our\nthinking, as best exemplified by Stephen\nKing\u2019s<\/strong> oeuvre with more than 50 novels and 100 short stories to his name \u2013\nan output that seems incredible to ordinary mortals in the world of writing, not\nonly referring to its content.               <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why we still need handwriting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is the keyboard\nreally better for writing our stories? <\/strong>Shouldn\u2019t we\nmeasure the success and accomplishment of a writer in quality rather than\nquantity? The passionate debate about the question of computer vs. handwriting\nhas been going on for a long time. Prevailing opinions not only divide\nestablished and new authors<\/a> but also\nscientists, neurologists and motor skills researchers into different camps.\nThey can all agree, however, that today\u2019s digital society threatens both our\nculture and our minds. Studies have shown ample evidence for the positive\neffects of handwriting. Nevertheless, the team of novum publishing<\/a> still used a\nkeyboard to present the following five key benefits of handwriting:               <\/p>\n\n\n\n
