In the article Writing Is a Social and Rhetorical Activity by Kevin Roozen he explains that we write to meet the needs of the readers. He uses examples of people writing in their everyday lives and gives examples of this. One example he gives is a young man writing in his diary to sort out how he feels about certain life events.
I myself have to write out handwritten labels at my current job. We write these labels to let the forklift drivers as well as other shifts know what parts are contained in each rack as well as the color and date they were packed. This keeps everyone informed on what stock we have on hand. I do also have the ability to type out these labels when time allows it. Without these labels we could have an overstock of unnecessary parts as well as not be able to meet our clients needs not knowing what parts we have on hand to ship.
