The Pen and the Keyboard (late)

In Carl Fisch's blog "Is the Pen mightier than the Keyboard" He put's up a good fight against the school board that did the study and in the end I think Fisch had better opinions than the opposing party. The Keyboard is in fact mightier than the Pen in a lot of way's including you don't get hand cramps while writing and there is spell check. The pen had it's time but isn't going to go to the end with the keyboard.
The students that were the Guinea Pigs for this test were between the ages of 4th grade and 6th grade. Not once in the article did it say that the kid's were good at the keyboard or what they were talking about. I think those are the most common flaw's throughout the entire study.
In this growing World everything is getting smarter and learning off of the human race and one day the computer will completely dominate the pen in all points across the board. Until now to the end of the pen's days I say the keyboard ends up on top. Always.
