This doesn't work, because we are not FORCED to use pen in everyday life. On official documents,yes, to prevent people from erasing things on checks like who is to be able to cash it.
In France, we use pens and cursive from the very beginning. Ball pens from age 5, fountain pens mandatory in high school. I used pencils only to draw graphs and figures.
I'ma get a Harman/Kardon pen with Bluetooth.
