This work deals with the human hand and its special features, beginning with the moment when Australopithecus stood upright and continuing through to the present digital age. The term 'digitus' comes from Latin and means 'finger'. Strictly speaking, the focus is no longer on the entire hand and its capabilities, but on the individual finger, which can operate a keyboard or swipe across a screen. There is no denying that this development has led to certain manual skills required for technical and textile work being insufficiently developed in children and young people. This provides the motivation to examine the connection between manual activity and the development of language, as well as motor skills in general and graphomotor skills in particular, in the theoretical part of this paper. Subsequently, various research reports will be used to explain the close connection between manual activity and brain activity.
