Kanji Trouble

From what I have seen word processors and cell phones have been detrimental to Japanese as they try to remember how to write the 1,945 Kanji necessary to be literate in Japan. Word processors and cell phones take Roman alphabet input and change it into Kanji characters giving alternative Kanji options as you type. This eliminates training and frequent practice of writing the characters. At any meeting my team members hope not to be chosen the one to take meeting minutes on the white board. There is not an issue recognizing a characters but recalling which character to use and how it is written. It often becomes a team effort with team members assisting the writer using their fingers to draw out characters in the air.
