THE FATBOY SHOW : The decline of handwriting: How Gen Z is losing a timeless skill.

A recent study from the University of Stavanger featured in an article in the Indian Defense Review highlights a troubling trend — nearly 40% of Gen Zers struggle to maintain basic handwriting skills. As technology continues to dominate how we communicate, this shift has profound implications for the future of human interaction and cognitive development.
