> Handwriting is tedious; pointless; painful to learn and bad for your hands.

Can you cite any evidence for this claim?

I journaled daily for over a decade without any stress injuries whatsoever. In contrast, heavy laptop usage for a few years lead to severe RSI damage I'm only now recovering from.

For both keyboarding and handwriting, the stress can be high or low depending on your technique. Many people write with cramped hands, which is hard on them if they do much more than sign credit card receipts. But if you write with light pressure and a gently curved wrist, you can write all day without pain.
