The pencil and its values

About a forgotten friend
Since the keyboards entered society (with their buttons), in a few years, they became everywhere and made the distance between us and the pencil bigger and bigger.
Well, the pencil needed cleaning, it had to be sharpened, and it had to be replaced after a while, and maybe no one cares why I have to bother myself so much when a mistake can be erased with a button, come and buy an eraser and bother myself. Right? Well, at first glance, it is logical (in the third and fourth glance as well)
But we should not pass quickly. This is not the whole story. Let's not forget that the right things sometimes block ways to get better thinking because when something is not in its place, its rightness and wrongness only give us the illusion of knowledge.
What is the solution? It's not about knowing or not knowing things or anything, it is a general rule that we should not make decisions based on apparently correct but not very general statements.
We must come to a practical understanding of each medium. (I will give more details)The pencil has a special place. Almost every workmaster I saw when faced with any project or problem, first took a pencil and started to implement a mental map, and then proceeded step by step, as if using the pencil would be more appropriate to express what is in his mind.
To implement what is in the mind. This is the key point that helps us to have a correct understanding of the use on an understanding of each medium and in our case between the pencil and the keyboard (I mean any tool that communicates with it through the keyboard) and our desire.
We don't give in to limitations, that's why we sometimes put our hands and feet in trouble to think more easily and implement our wishes.

It doesn't matter how many times I had to use the eraser and sharpener in an hour, and how many times the tip of the pencil broke. Also, the relationship between pencil and paper is exactly what I'm looking for.
The pencil is not a tool here. It is like a pathfinder. The pencil here is the way forward.This is not a slogan. I have tested this many times when I am facing a complex algorithm or when I am thinking about a specific problem, writing with a pencil is very helpful. Of course, I think that everyone has a certain amount of will take advantage of this potential.
I remember a time when first of all I used to write database queries on paper and with a lot of trouble I would arrange them, after thinking that it was the best thing that could be written, I would enter it into the database.I understood the most difficult algorithms by writing them on paper, and to make the path of thought and mind smoother, I put my hands and feet in difficulty.
I owe this connection to my teachers.I wanted to show the relationship between these two betterOf course, I wrote this text first with a pencil and then I started typing. pencil allows us to design beautiful intellectual models and patterns that are limited by keyboard buttons.
For me, this is not a slogan or rule but a working model. The initial design should have its purest style.
