The questionmark is a different font
It's technically all the same font. The script characters are "Mathematical Bold Script" Unicode characters (U+1D4D0 to U+1D503), rather than plain ASCII letters in a separate, cursive web font:

The script characters are โMathematical Bold Scriptโโฆ
There are no questions in mathematicsโฆonly answers.

"But what if you have to write a job application letter?"
Well, Ms Sullivan, you were WRONG.
"It's so you can do the math even if you don't have a calculator available"
"Oh, like literally never?"
It's still pretty useful to do simple math in your head. For example chicken adding a few numbers together or multiplying something. In general stuff that would take longer to type in than just calculating yourself.
If it's not important enough to take a few seconds to a minute typing it, it's not important enough to use a skill that's severely atrophied from decades of intentional disuse ๐คท
It's pretty useful guessing how much you need to pay when picking multiple products in the supermarket
Again, you can do that on your phone calculator. Hell, most grocery stores even have self scan apps if you want to go a step further
That sounds like an incredible amount of work vs just adding rough estimates together. I can add two numbers in less time than it takes to reach into my pocket.
Except when you're in prison.
The main reason why kids write like neanderthals nowadays.
Personally, I'm an elder millenial and the reason I write like a neanderthal is the lack of fine motor skills that comes with ADHD.
I avoid writing anything by hand when I can and thankfully society has finally progressed to the point that that's almost always.
My handwriting has always sucked. ๐ญ My cursive is worse than my print; totally ineligible.
I feel i retain better information if I handwrite my notes.
So I do that.
Personally I even do that digitally. Tablets are basicly a limitless piece of paper.
I tried that, but I much prefer the haptics of real paper and writing with an actual pen. Also, I really like the look of ink on paper. Of course, there are still cases when a tablet is just the best. For example, when annotating PDFs.
It's deffenetly weird at first. And as everything not for everybody.
I'm with you personally. Being able to just move whole blocks of writing makes for some amazing note organization. Not to mention linking things etc.
nah
Yes this is also shown to be the case in scientific studies. Something something reinforcing memories by activating several parts of the brain at once. Yes I'm too lazy to actually find one and link it but I've come across it several times
Not being able to just slam every word the prof says into your computer also forces you to be more deliberate about what you choose to write down, which makes handwritten note taking a form of active learning--you are real-time engaging with and processing the content rather than unthinkingly slapping a keyboard.
Yes, but for my own notes it's not a problem if the handwriting is ugly. I still like to write by hand, even if my handwriting looks pretty messy.
It also improves the small motor skills. Writing is good for the brain.
I have factory defects and have small motor problems anyways.
It definitely was not a waste of time! Grab a cheap fountain pen and give yourself a new hobby :)
pro tip: you can still write ugly if you use a fountain pen
Fun fact: me and two other guys were the first ever at our school to be allowed to take our written exit exams on a computer. We had to bring our own and, this being 1999, that meant desktop pcs with huge clunky crt screens ๐
My parents got laptops from work back in 95. But a home computer was of course still a fair bit cheaper and far more powerful.
Yeah, my brothers and I mostly used the family computer for gaming, and putting the words "gaming" and "laptop" together was a total joke back then ๐
My Dad had a Mac which made it even worse but some of my fondest childhood memories are around playing Full Throttle on that thing. Though Hocus Pocus on my mother's windows 95 PC is probably my first exposure to PC gaming. But I've played NES since I could physically grasp a controller!
With my brothers and me, it was Commodore 64 (Bubble Bobble, Giana Sisters, International Karate, Rockstar Ate My Hamster and many more), then Amiga 500 (Outrun, the first Formula 1, Defender of the Crown and others that don't come to mind right now) and THEN pc gaming ๐
Then you're likely the same age as my uncle. In many ways I'm a bit sad I missed that era, the Commodore 64 really shaped a generation in ways the NES just didn't do because it was "just" a game system. Programming was just so "accessible" in a lack of better words on the 64 and it just didn't get as accessible again I feel until YouTube but it's just not the same. I tried to dabble on PC back in the late 90s and early 00s but it was wild west with poor resources outside of schools/heavy (English) literature and full of viruses! In late middle school I learned Basic and it blew my mind back then. But Java felt like such a let down in University. Nowadays I'm into scripting instead and work DevOps.
On a long enough time frame everything is just a waste of time.
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
That we know of.
Soon we'll all just be talking to our computers and physical input devices will be a relic. We're prolly gonna get to a point where were just hooked up to neural networks. Over time people will forget that we used to be able to speak.
When I was young my mum n dad used to force me to do a hour of writing everyday after school to improve my writing, never worked, and now I work in IT so have almost zero reason for a pen or pencil. What a waste of time. Good job I was unsupervised and only used to do it once a week then give them the same sheet every day!
Me having the worse 5 year old writing: Thanks God! ๐
Somehow I have never seen that sad Morgan Freeman face before.
I think its right before he gets got at the end of Wanted.
my handwriting is atrotious. I feel vindicated.
A keyboard. How quaint.
-- Montgomery Scott, 1986
the windows display keyboard allows to write the text instead of typing it. I am sure that linux has is with some package too
