I’m certainly not opposed to technological change and some of the voice stuff appeals to me. But I see that no one uses cursive anymore. Now there is “no need” to type. If we’re not careful, we will have an illiterate society. I don’t care what anyone says: it would not be a good thing.

In Larry Niven’s Ringworld series, you learn that the 200 year old Louis Wu is illiterate. Why learn to read in a society where you talk to computers and they tell you an answer?
