In the future - will schools spend more time improving pupil's typing skills that they will on handwriting.?

Answer 1

No, because by the time they changed their educational infrastructure, voice recognition technology would be cheaper and more reliable.

Writing is still vital to teach pattern recognition and fine motor and artistic abilities.

Besides, you need to worry about math and science or else the only skills you will need is with a broom.

Answer 2

Only when all examinations are completed on computers. Until then, good, legible, rapid handwriting is a crucial factor in a child's academic success. I've never been taught to type properly, and although I don't feel this fact holds me back, it would have been valuable to learn this skill correctly from the beginning.
