Here's a great article on the history and cognitive role of handwriting.
I would hate to live in a world where we were unable to communicate without a keyboard, and keyboard free is also not future I would enjoy.
We need to straddle both worlds and some of us will lean more on the handwriting side than others. The question of which to use keyboard skills in school is more about resources, competency at typing and the level of integration of computers within school.
Don't throw away the pencil sharpeners just yet!
