Good penmanship, by the way (date: 1988). Do young kids today get to practice their handwriting much?

Good stuff so far: "By evoking the need for deep conceptual hierarchies, the automatic computer confronts us with a radically new intellectual challenge that has no precedent in our history."


We still do, for now. But I can see the transition coming in one or two people eschewing handwriting for laptops in eachof my classes at the high school level.
