I am also new to Steem. I find your background and knowledge vastly useful in today's world. I am just now getting into technology and the digital/virtual world. I started playing around with technology and online infrastructures as a way to gauge whether I could distinguish real from false... there's a lot of false ads in the internet that look legit! And a lot of real that look bogus. As for your post writing is changing and evolving along with out society. Written word has a certain beauty to it that can't quite be possessed through certain mediums. One thing I got an offer in was handwritten books, where the book was printed out using my own self handwriting for the original work. Hours and hours go into this process because it is so tedious to write elegantly and beautiful both in words and in viewing. It adds another dimension to the text... the authors personality. The tone of your story be grasped by the reader more intensely. I would like to create some kind of media or outlet for writers to pursue this style but do jot possess the computer skills. Full of ideas but no programming background.
commenter + OP = match made in Heaven
What does OP stand for? My best guess would be original post but as I clearly state technology is new for muah. So want to be sure I am reading abbreviations correctly. They have a guide in the medical world of standard approved abbreviations, does such a guide exist for the tech world?

Thank you, kind sir.
Great idea.. I have mused in the past about a sort of anti-font uprising, the idea of a resurgence of handwritten works in the blockchain-age is intriguing.
Especially intriguing if you know how to write in cursive! They don't teach our kids cursive anymore in the states... my handwriting is somewhere between print and cursive and my children can't read my words. Unless of course I print them out very stereotypical computer times new roman!! It's very sad to me that I can almost write in a secret language they can't read when it's done in their native tongue. Maybe an app that printed in cursive would be a better idea?! That way they can learn "old fashioned writing" as my kids call it.
