I’m from the pen and ink bottle generation.

I had to write with my right hand, not very easy when you are very left handed.
When I was 12 I got my first ballpoint and changed to left had writing.

As an result I can write rather neat but very slow (cursive) with my right hand and fast but bad with my left hand.

It is very important that children learn and practice writing when they are young, not just use a keyboard.
