Are hand written notes actually becoming obsolete?
In the majority of the rest of the world (where they don't regularly read/.), the average person still uses pen and paper. I'm a programmer by trade, nerd by demeanor, and I, begrudgingly, have to write things down every once in a while. I don't think handwriting is becoming obsolete, not by a long shot. Its very easy to say that on some of the nerdiest board on the internets, and have many people agree with you, but that's only because we live in a vacuum.
And I love my spellcheck.
