- debit or credit cards instead of cheques,
- electronic bank withdrawals instead of withdrawal strips,
- text messages instead of notes, etc...
Had it not been for such technological change , pen use would have remained more prevalent. On the flip side, Young children are still taught to write and aspire to their "pen licences", students still use pens for their lecture notes and on examinations.....

I agree................ to an extent.
However, I see people using phones to do things as simple as a shopping list, taking notes on tablets, yet it is faster with pen and paper, also how many have "used" a "fountain pen".
It is a really nice experience, like playing vinyl, try it.
