Writer's brain

 In this digital age, the art and skill of handwriting has quickly faded.  In many schools, students are no longer taught how to write in cursive.  And despite a more recent backlash to the anti-cursive trend, handwriting in any form is becoming a lost art.  This, despite the growing evidence that handwriting is useful, and important in brain development.  It seems that typing words on a keyboard doesn't promote the kind of memory and linguistic skills that forming letters by hand with pen and paper does.  The evidence seems clear- to really learn something, write it down by hand.  Your brain will thank you.  Maybe even in cursive.
