Warum der Bleistift?

Writing is a form of magic that connects our brains and hands in a way that typing cannot equal. When we type, at least part of our brain is unconsciously distracted by the mechanics of the action. „Where’s the backspace key?” „How do I get an umlaut?” „How do I magnify the page view?” Using the combination of hardware and software disrupts the flow of thoughts in a way that a pencil doesn’t. It may need sharpened once in a while, but we can rotate it to obtain the best point without giving it a thought.
