Today I realized how poor are my writing skills when it comes down to writing with a pen on a piece of paper. I was trying to write an address on an envelope, and it turned out to be surprisingly difficult. I might even say it was irritating and frustrating writing those few lines of text.

Then I thought to myself: how often do I get to write using a pen these days? The answer startled me: virtually never ! Is writing on paper becoming obsolete ? The second skill(first is reading) that we are taught at school is turning out to be useless !

I wonder how long it's gonna take before writing with a pen is no longer taught at school ?

First it was Apple offering downloadable copies of past TV shows($1.99/episode), and now it seems that TV networks CBC and NBC are following up, and offering past shows for $0.99/episode(those aren't exactly downloadable, but instead can be viewed on Comcact On Demand.)

I think this is a great step forward ! While currently they only offer recent show, I can imagine that sometime soon we'll be able to download pretty much any show that ever aired on TV and this really excites me !
