Now the times have changed and so have the use of technology. People now have the choice to choose computers over long hand for many obvious reasons. One big reason why most people choose to use a computer over long hand is it is much faster and easier. When the time comes to write elaborate papers or essays, the computer is the best tool to utilize. It is an interesting fact that many teachers and professors require students to type papers because it looks more neat and papers are easier to read.
Revision is very important when it comes to papers.
The computer may not be the best source to do this because you may not catch everything such as writing the word over twice or not using the appropriate word. Writing long hand, on the other hand, involves time and is a hassle. So that is why many peoples penmanship have suffered because they have turned to the wonderful world of typing. Therefore most people would not be able to write a five-page essay these days because of the fear of making mistakes. Writing long hand can be obnoxious if you have to grab a dictionary to find out how to spell a word or a thesaurus to find a word that may sound better to fit the sentence.
