I did that thing recently where you have to sign a big card- which is a horror unto itself, especially as the keeper of the big card was leaning over me at the time. Suddenly I was on the spot , a rabbit in the headlights, torn between doing a fun message or some sort of in-joke or a drawing. Instead overwhelmed by the myriad options available to me, I decided to just write:”good luck, best Joel”. It was then that I realized, to my horror, that I had forgotten how to write. My entire existence is “tap letters into my computer”. My shopping lists are hidden in the notes function of my phone. If I need to remember something I send an e-mail to myself. A pen is something I chew when I’m struggling to think. Paper is something I pile beneath the laptop to make it a more comfortable height for me to type on. A poll of 1,000 teens by the stationers, Bic found that one in 10 don’t own a pen, a third have never written a letter, and half of 13 to 19 years- old have never been forced to sit down and write a thank you letter. More than 80% have never written a love letter, 56% don’t have letter paper at home. And quarters have never known the unique torture of writing a birthday card. The most a teen ever has to use a pen is on an exam paper.
