Naomi Baron "IM and the Future of Language" p.723 applying & exploring q.2

At this day in age, “normal” is writing practically all electronically. Though, if we're talking “normal” as in a pencil/pen and paper, then yes, that should be maintained. Not only for the mere fact that people would know how to write something out, but their spelling could possibly improve, as well as grammar. This is also true, if in the case that they have to use a pencil/pen in the future. They know how to use it and how it works.

At the moment I cant think of anything that I would opt to have not be a writing technology anymore. Printing presses are obviously, and still widely used, even if newspapers and magazines are starting to become electronic.
