It makes me long for the days when we thought that typing 1134 on a calculator and flipping it upside down so that it'd spell 'hell' was amusing.

One of the bullshitiest ideas ever. Its like learning how to use a calculator, without learning how to count first. Not to mention that doing everything exclusively on computers is a really bad idea. You write something on a piece of paper, it stays there. You write something on a computer, it stays there... Until the thing crashes.

Not to mention that a notebook and a pen are much cheaper than laptops.

Never mind a catastrophe! How about documents? How can a future adult rent out an apartment if he/she can't handwrite and sign the document? Or sign a lease on a car? Or even pay bills? Even with fancy modern technology, there are plenty of things out there that need a signature in order to prove authenticity of sorts. That's some deep thinking from the powers that be, all right...

		Nevermind the economy and budget slights of hand, now the powers that be are concerned about whether or not they should eliminate "handwriting" from core cirriculum, due to modern technology. Helpless should there ever be a mass power outage, or some other catastrophy. I s'pose we could always revert to stone & chissel. Great minds don't get much brighter than this!
