    I wonder how many people feel this way about writing when everyone just types/texts everything.

        How so?

        I genuinely don’t understand the clock-face-reading-is-a-useless-skill opinion so both seem equally important to me.

          Fair enough. Most people don’t encounter analog clocks anymore. And many of us have smart watches or phones where we check the time. Since I have a non-analog watch, I don’t find I ever look at analog clocks anymore. If it’s in a room, I just don’t notice it. Growing up, it was important to know, but now I just never have a use for it. Learning is important, but there are so many more interesting and useful things to learn.

            Yea that’s kind of what I was thinking when I said eventually handwriting will go the same way.

            If people never encounter it and do all their writing on keyboards, it’ll eventually be a useless skill as well.
