I wouldnt mind going back 20 years...
couple of things I would do differently...and its very true what you say..
but I reckon some peoples hand writing skills and I daresay grasp of the english language when writing has fallen due to the introduction of the internet purely on the basis that when sending an email you can spellcheck it so it will never be wrong - so really your not actually learning for yourself as it does it for you..and the time you spend online the more emails you may send ( over a set period of years for instance) the less you will write so whe it does come to doing some hand written work it may be substandard..
when was the last time anyone actually sat down and wrote a letter..even essays for school work can be typed up and printed off so the school kids and teachers wont really know how bad their handwriting/spelling may be..
probably not worded that correctly but I am sure you know what I am trying to say...as good as it is - it has its downfalls..
