Tapping: the primitive brain

Use an ink pen on paper,  mimic the motions of a stylus or a finger on a touchscreen device.  Change your focus from hunting for characters and icons.  To overlay it into a civilized behavior like pen and paper writing.  It's closer to resembling poking something with a stick.  Not at all like the flow of serpentine writing.   Nor the staccato boundaries created by justified margins.  This tapping connects us to our primitive brain: 
  • eat it
  • mate with it
  • kill it
The hand motion of say a stone chipper would have come about through training unless the act is just to pulverize.



It's not what you think it's what you believe.  Patricia '96
