instructions on it for some sort of editorial task It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting and then I realized whose it must be I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year maybe two and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point It was a very important event in the computerization of life a sign that the informal friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and e mails There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters and we recognized one another s handwriting the way we knew voices or faces As a child visiting my father s office I was pleased to recognize in little notes on the desks of his staff the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge except that those notes were signed dad instead of RFW All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting a book by Florey She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well but many others argue that people in a digital age can t be expected to learn to hold a pen I don t buy it I don t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does For many a biographer part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th century Italy That may sound impossibly grand as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings However they have worked in many school systems 2 1
