Thinking about the possibility of brain-computer interfacing is insane. It'll be possible to shove a thought into your shopping list... convert your dream into a text file to edit and include in your book later.
I do think writing by hand is a good skill to teach at least until highschool... from then on, there should be more accessible ways of getting your notes down and organised - and also easy to search and re-organise.
It's strange that after I tested out a couple of REALLY dirt cheap chinese pens to replace my old, trusty, fountain pen which got lost - this ended up with me having three transparent plastic pens (WingSung) that cost $2 each - and now my son has stolen one for school, filled with some Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue (every bit as nice as a blue EnerGel) but with a couple of ink-eradicator pens, he says it's better and faster than using the alternatives (FriXion is way overpriced, and not nearly as nice as a proper GelPen - and the rest of the competition is just nasty).
I also use a double-edged safety razor to shave, and found out (when I figured it was something most folks just hadn't thought about) that a few of my friends went there a year or two back... so many things should never need to die out, but obviously some things should be skipped...
Longer form (essays, dissertations, anything more than a page) is certainly a bit of a waste of time. I wrote a list of 'to read' books and stuck it up in my wardrobe, but the list changed... so now it's digital and that paper got trashed.
Another 100 years should see more convenient and effective alternatives.
