Is technology taking over pen and paper?

As a teacher who teaches writing as part of the National Curriculum, it is becoming increasingly scary that handwriting and writing in general is being fast replaced by technology, which in my professional opinion, is adding to the decreasing results we have in spelling and grammar. Why bother learning how to spell when your computer fixes it for you? 

How do you feel about this topic? Will we even be teaching writing using pen and paper in the near future?

What do you think? Will handwriting, printing or cursive, become a rare art that only exists and historians would practice? Will typing eventually become the only way we can communicate unspoken words to other humans? Will children eventually grow up never knowing how to hold a pencil and write?
