True, I find it very hard to write on tablet PCs legibly, so I imagine it would be very difficult to teach penmanship on one.

If paper every totally dies down the road, penmanship will die with it and we'll have moved on exclusively to typing on keyboards. But I don't see paper TOTALLY dying off anytime soon. It will become less prevalent as time goes on, but it won't disappear. Not in our lifetimes anyway and I couldn't care less what happens after I'm dead and gone.
