Handwriting and more

There has been a lot of discussion around this form our parents at our Technology evening. Something some try hard to hang onto ..handwriting in class , their big worry????? Why? I wonder?

I wonder about the way we are teaching kids to write to. What are the texts like that we read most days ..full of media/ photos/video/hyperlinks.. is this the way our children should be effectively communicating?
