"But what if you have to write a job application letter?"
Well, Ms Sullivan, you were WRONG.
"It's so you can do the math even if you don't have a calculator available"
"Oh, like literally never?"
The main reason why kids write like neanderthals nowadays.
Personally, I'm an elder millenial and the reason I write like a neanderthal is the lack of fine motor skills that comes with ADHD.
I avoid writing anything by hand when I can and thankfully society has finally progressed to the point that that's almost always.
My handwriting has always sucked. 😭 My cursive is worse than my print; totally ineligible.
I feel i retain better information if I handwrite my notes.
So I do that.
Personally I even do that digitally. Tablets are basicly a limitless piece of paper.
Yes, but for my own notes it's not a problem if the handwriting is ugly. I still like to write by hand, even if my handwriting looks pretty messy.

Yes this is also shown to be the case in scientific studies. Something something reinforcing memories by activating several parts of the brain at once. Yes I'm too lazy to actually find one and link it but I've come across it several times
Not being able to just slam every word the prof says into your computer also forces you to be more deliberate about what you choose to write down, which makes handwritten note taking a form of active learning--you are real-time engaging with and processing the content rather than unthinkingly slapping a keyboard.
It also improves the small motor skills. Writing is good for the brain.
I have factory defects and have small motor problems anyways.
It definitely was not a waste of time! Grab a cheap fountain pen and give yourself a new hobby :)
pro tip: you can still write ugly if you use a fountain pen

Fun fact: me and two other guys were the first ever at our school to be allowed to take our written exit exams on a computer. We had to bring our own and, this being 1999, that meant desktop pcs with huge clunky crt screens 😁
On a long enough time frame everything is just a waste of time.
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
That we know of.
Soon we'll all just be talking to our computers and physical input devices will be a relic. We're prolly gonna get to a point where were just hooked up to neural networks. Over time people will forget that we used to be able to speak.
When I was young my mum n dad used to force me to do a hour of writing everyday after school to improve my writing, never worked, and now I work in IT so have almost zero reason for a pen or pencil. What a waste of time. Good job I was unsupervised and only used to do it once a week then give them the same sheet every day!
Me having the worse 5 year old writing: Thanks God! 🙏
my handwriting is atrotious. I feel vindicated.
Somehow I have never seen that sad Morgan Freeman face before.
I think its right before he gets got at the end of Wanted.
A keyboard. How quaint.
-- Montgomery Scott, 1986
I've always had sloppy handwriting, but I had to handwrite a note for someone and I've never seen my handwriting so neat! I've not had to write anything with a pen or pencil for at least 2 years. But all of a sudden, its clear, neat and legible, even my cursive is pretty clear too!
the windows display keyboard allows to write the text instead of typing it. I am sure that linux has is with some package too
