Its nothing to do with contempt for the media, or not wanting to leave evidence of my existence or anything like that, its just that I got shit to do.

I don't doubt you have a busy life. And that is not the subject at hand here.

What should concern us, collectively, is that we are constantly being pushed the notion that we do not have enough time and that tech is always the solution, when it is not.

I'm going to take a risk and say you write faster than you type and reaching for a pencil is quicker than launching a program.

I have a very hard time believing this. From some quick googling, it seems that experienced writers can do 40 wpm, which is really slow in comparison to an (even an inexperienced) typer. Also, typing has no risk of being unreadable, unlike writing (e.g. doctor's written notes).

and reaching for a pencil is quicker than launching a program.

Maybe if your computer is really slow.

If you have bad calligraphy, practice. Won't hurt you.

Typing works perfectly fine for me in the vast majority of cases.
