Concur!

Yours,
Randal

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

It's kind of cool that it can be done, but awful that anyone could think robot-written is as good as handwritten.

teach it how to handle real flex and we talk again ;-)

We have these things around for signatures for quite some time, on a technical note it's very interesting to see that they have developed further.

Just because one can do a thing does not mean that one should do a thing.

 

These folks are missing the point. As a professional calligrapher friend of mine once observed: "If you had ever written with a well-cut quill on a fine piece of vellum, you would understand how medieval monks could have remained celibate."

 

We write by hand because we enjoy it - something that is totally wasted on a machine.

In the article, Caberwal said, "…people gravitate toward things that make them feel."

I agree with Yaakova, I write by hand because I enjoy it.

 

I also like interesting fonts on printed materials, but it doesn't make me feel closer to whoever sent it. This reminds me of companies finishing letters with a printed "handwritten" signature in a different color. Sounds like there's a market for it.

In my opinion this machine isn't built for joy or tactile sensation, but because people think it's something special to get a handwritten letter instead of a printed one. And if you want to send your clients something exclusive this machine can imitate such a thing more or less. It's only the impression you can make that counts - and even if they recognize that it's in fact machine-hand-written, your clients are still in awe and get goosebumps that you have such a miraculous contraption ;)

Hmm, if there's demand for this sort of service then that gives me a good idea for a small business. Handwriting notes and letters for other people. I think this has been done before though, by people called scribes, and calligraphers (and secretaries!).

 

I'm sure the novelty of robotics is part of the appeal with this.

 

ETA - I'd feel really cheated if I received a handwritten note that wasn't written by the sender, unless they legitimately could not write.

Sacrilegious. Hand-writing-wise of course. :angry:

Write in cursive. It's not being taught in some areas. People will have to hire a reader too.

I'm so happy they learn cursive from 8 yrs old at the school my kids go to, and their grade 5 & 6 essays and book reviews all have to be done in cursive. It is currently taught by a lovely octogenerian lady who learnt it back in the 40s with a dip pen, and who has beautiful writing herself. My parents also learnt cursive, or copperplate as it was called then, with dip pen in the 50s and 60s.

Coincidentally I watched the documentary on TV last night (recorded). I thought the same as you. I was impressed and also that the wheel at the back could be changed to change the letters. great engineering and vision.

It's faintly horrible - a perfect simulated expression of caring, created by a robot with a pen.

It's silly on more levels than I can count.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
