You, with your machines and your smart boards
and your computer applications;
Designed to measure thoughts, ideas and
chart them; so originality
can be crushed under the volume, mass,
weight of a perfectly crafted graph
of human souls

Your poem resonates strongly for me as I watch my kids struggle with handwriting… but will handwriting get them a job in the 2020s?
