Upgrading WiFi, printers, & everything else associated with all this has also been impacted. It's probably driven the price up for some things, too.
I just retired from teaching this past year, but I can honestly say that I saw 7th grade students who didn't know how to hold a pencil correctly when writing. Handwriting had gotten terrible in school. Not claiming mine is great. If you wanted to send a secret message in code, just write it cursively.
Wow, why did I not think of that......we had to buy a computer for our house this year. I'm sure a lot of other people had to as well this year when schools were closed, and now they're closed again for a while here.
I don't know when they stopped teaching cursive here. I learned typing, and cursive in elementary school. Most of my friends in their 60's can't type with both hands, they just use the chicken pecking method lol. But they all know more about confusers than me.
Edit: I'm an idiot, apparently they do teach it here. whoopsie doodle.
