I don’t think its digital handwriting replacing paper handwriting, it will just be typing. Writing takes more energy and we humans are lazy. I’ll bet most kids in schools rather type their homework rather than write it. I know from experience.
On the other hand, taking notes with a lot of equations is cumbersome with a computer, and straightforward with paper and pen.
I also can’t do any serious maths without paper, e.g. playing with equations. It flows naturally with pen and paper, it is just horrible with a computer, unless you actually defer the equation solving to the computer using dedicated symbolic math software which is very useful, but that’s not always what you want to do.
I am not sure about this. I talk basis on my personal experience, but typing is write things you listen. Handwriting implies listen, summarise and write (you are slower than conversation so you need make a just in time summary). Also handwriting is not only write text, I usually add non textual information like draw schemas, symbols, complex formulas, link with lines… implies a mental work that typing hasn’t it
