danah boyd notes that hand writing is cumbersome
It's funny that danah boyd has posted today about the annoyances of writing by hand on the same day we discussed it. I'm much more adept at writing by hand in the right physical conditions (soft, sharp-pointed, mechanical pencil or fine point sharpie on smooth, low grit, medium weight paper), and less adept at typing on my Macbook than my old broken iBook (I can't get used to how far apart the keys are - I have tiny hands).

That is funny. I enjoy writing by hand but usually only do it for note taking and creative work.
I found it amazing that pulling together technical sentences and organizing an essay like structure was so labourous for my brain. I remember doing that years before without it being such an issue.
