Now that capacitive touchscreens are widely available, I think we should teach children how to quickly and accurately input text on a touchscreen tablet, using a Swipe-style keyboard or whatever current method gives the fastest and most accurate results. Note: We should teach them how to input eloectronic text (as in Unicode), that can then be read in whatever font and size is good for the reader, or through alternative methods such as text-to-speech and braille. Universal access! Of course, such text is also searchable, which is also something we can't practically get with handwriting. In other words, let's teach kids how to input text in a way that's optimized for this century. And while we're at it, let's teach them to make their written output universally accessible by default. No more handwritten notes on whiteboards during meetings, excluding blind (or low-vision) participants. There should be a way to input electronic text that's just as convenient (or more) for a typical sighted person, but also accessible. Death to handwriting as we know it!
