This is the real reason why humanity invented keyboard.
See, I was thinking the other way around. I was thinking the prevalence of keyboards largely contributed to the decline in penmanship, rather than providing a way to skirt it.
My middle-school-aged son's handwriting is hilariously atrocious. Kid is a straight-A student but writes about as well as my daughter, and she's 8. Every time he has to write something we get a good laugh out of it. Same with other kids his age. His yearbook looks like it was signed by a class of kindergarteners. I figure it's just because they simply don't write--ever. Everything they do is on a laptop.
Will be interesting to see how much worse handwriting can get before we just say "fuck it". Lol
