Handwriting 'replaced by texting'

The decline of handwriting and the rise of e-mail and text messaging has been highlighted in a new survey of media consumption in the digital age. The BBC reports.

"It suggests that half of written communication is by e-mail, 29% by text message and just 13% by pen and paper.

... The results among those aged 15 to 24 who took part showed only 5% of their communications were by pen and paper, a lot lower than the older people."
