In this modern age of computers, handwriting is pointless

Should handwriting no longer be taught in schools and people just use computers to write.

even for this one point, handwriting is important - (Electromagnetic Pulse) EMPs being used in warfare, if an EMP were to be detonated it could incapacitate all/most electronic systems. to communicate necessary information handwriting would then be needed.

We use handwriting all the time in common life, even though it is theoretically possible to opperate a society without handwriting, it would be a significant transition and would be delicate insofar as computers are in some ways vulnerable.

I also think it is nice to own your signature (unique style) and without handwriting you lose this.

I dont think it would be a good thing to eliminate

What if you want to send a message to the guy in the cell across from yours? You can write your note on a piece of paper, fold it into a paper airplane and send it to him..., airmail. How cool is that? Unless you end up poking his eye out ;)

Side: Handwriting

This whole message is handwritten! How you ask? It's a long boring tale of crack-cocaine abuse and cyber-wizards. Handwriting will not be pointless for a long time. So many places refuse to accept online applications, how do you plan on writing it out then?

I think we should still be able to use handwriting. My school still uses handwriting for most of the assignments. Also not all worksheets can be done on the computer. Also if a EMP went off in the US. Then all of the electronics will be no use to us anymore. That is why we could use still handwriting

I feel more comfortable giving my friend a PRIVATE hand written note that can be torn up then with a computer >.> Sounds paranoid, but when serious stuff goes down in the world I imagine it'd be useful.
