Why has it become a hassle for kids to write?

Are you a teacher or a mother and struggling to help your child to write?

If you are an elementary teacher and working with young children for a long time you must have noticed delays in children's writing abilities nowadays as compared to the past era.

It is true that children at this tech age are losing their dexterity strengths, which are causing the delay in developing writing skills. But the question is why? 

Recently Guardian had published an article discussing the reason behind the trouble children having due to the use of tech at home and in schools.

Clarke B. said that nowadays children are using tablets more often than other hands-on material such as blocks and scissors, which is affecting their ability to build their fine motor skills and hold pencils. Moreover, we also want to know if our next generation really needs to write in future using a pencil or a pen. As the trend is changing and students have to use the computer or tablets instead of paper and pen, will they really be using it anymore in future? Or writing with a pencil/pen will be extinct?
