But who, these days, can write much without power-dependent devices? I still use a notebook but within days I have little ability to parse my handwriting, and I rarely transfer anything handwritten to device.


One of my brothers writes on a typewriter daily. It's just his preference and hobby.

I think we could switch back fairly quickly if we needed to do so.


With all due and complete respect, I think not being able to read your own handwriting a few days later is a minority position...


True, I have disgraphia, which runs in my family. But my sense is that many young people barely did any handwriting in the last few years so I’m guessing handwriting is still less likely to be employed during power outages than just putting off writing.
