When I was in school, some older students complained that tests were hybrid: you could handwrite or you could type. They complained that they had grown up before typing was as common and that it wasn't fair to let students type, since they could write much more. They argued for a word limit, which was denied.

Now we'll see the reverse, with students arguing that they can't handwrite effectively and need more time or whatever in order for exams to be fair. Hopefully handwritten exams will become the norm from grade school onward, so that this complaint will be rendered moot.
