“With the advent of technology, many people have forgone the magic that comes when using a pen to put thoughts to paper...handwriting activates multiple areas of the brain in ways that typing does not.”
Maria Brito, How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold

Carl Sagan
“On the other hand, mere critical thinking, without creative and intuitive insights, without the search for new patterns, is sterile and doomed. To solve complex problems in changing circumstances requires the activity of both cerebral hemispheres: the path to the future lies through the corpus callosum.”
Carl Sagan, The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence
