I am dyslexic, so I was allowed to use a laptop for class and exams while others had to handwrite on paper. It gave me an enormous advantage in both. I would do better than kids who were objectively better at the subject, simply because I could type so much faster and more accurately than they could write. Also typing requires way less focus, so you can devote your attention to the actual task.

I don't see why you would want to sabotage the next generation by denying them access to the tools which would be available to them in the workplace.
