As an anecdote I used to do k-12 sysadmin and we once had a major issue during grade 12 English exam and the students had to handwrite their essays. Almost everyone failed. Most did not even finish. Most students can hardly even handwrite anymore and it makes sense
Our uni accepts 99% of things on paper (except some reports, which need to be done in Latex), and I am glad this is the case. I just can't think normally while at the screen. If there's a task - I need to do it on paper first and only then type out (which is a bit frustrating because I can only type with two fingers).
