Writing Long Hand Can Heal You, But Is It Doomed to Die Out?

Apart from the interest that handwritten samples provide for personality 'sleuths', writing long hand has therapeutic benefits.

I was writing by the age of three, the product of my environment in Asia; by the age of six, I was reading the Three Musketeers. What are six year-olds reading today, when they're not playing computer games? What is texting doing to our children's powers of expression and to the merciless impoverishment of our language? It's already happening, judging by the English used in forums and blogs and in many articles on the Net.
So you can tweet - but can you craft a vision with words that will touch people's soul? Can I?
