If I'm making notes then a pen and paper. I'm a fast typer but I like the freedom of pen and paper for quite notes and sketches. Post it notes and shopping notes are all paper based too.
But for anything else - typing.
 
definitely typing for me i am a lot quicker at it than writing and plus you can just hit the backspace if you make a mistake none of this liquid paper!
 
My handwriting is terrible. My typing is excellent, so yeah, I prefer typing. I can type a WHOLE lot faster than I can write. My signature is......horrible! :eek:
 
Typing. I can type wayy faster than I can write, and my mind works in a much faster/better way, so that I can create better essays, think of better words and synonyms etc. My handwriting is so bad, lots of people can't read it. However my friend's handwriting is SO abysmally bad, that during exams he can actually use a laptop to complete exam papers such as English or History. He also has dyslexia so he even gets extra time. If I had that situation I'm sure I would get much better grades than I do currently..
