Handwriting - is it still a required skill?

How important it is to teach the kids nowadays handwriting? Because most of their lives they will probably type.
Or do you think that it is important to connect their brains with their motoric capabilities, to create a better human a whole?

Yesterday I saw Novembermoon's amazing handwriting and thought
that it is a dying art
Handwriting is as important as crawling before you walk

@RooiSoosSkarlakenWitSoosSneeu It is very hard to motivate the kids though - all they see is their parents typing, and they think is silly to have to to this antiquated stuff :)
