    I actually understand better writing down than typing. You could dictate a full text and I could type it as fast as you talk but would never be able to repeat what you said without reading it back. That’s common amongst typists.

    Writing by hand and slowing you down makes absorbing the knowledge way better as you go (e.g. in a class). But again maybe there are better ways to do that now, I dunno.

      Yeah, there are plenty of studies showing that writing by hand improves memory retention and speeds up learning. Dude’s just stuck at the “why do I need to learn math when there’s a calculator in my pocket” level of thinking about education.
