When I was attending high school online, terabyte hard drives weren't even on the market yet

I take issue with the distinction between "online" and "physical" on the basis that the computers, routers, switches, wires, etc. that makes up the Internet are also physical objects
I just feel like being a pedantic idiot here; don't mind me

Remember PDAs?
I had one of these during the one school year when I attended a brick-and-mortar high school:
16 MHz CPU, 2 MB of RAM...and it wasn't even non-volatile RAM, so if you let the battery drain entirely, you would lose all your data
Can you picture 13-year-old me sitting around a high school physics class taking notes with that tiny stylus? Because that's what I did!

Also, as I have mentioned before, I cannot actually handwrite for very long without getting all cramped, because of the unconventional way I hold a pencil
So even typing on that absurdly tiny touchscreen keyboard was an improvement

Basically what happened is that I taught myself to write before I even started elementary school, and I just happened to be holding the pencil in entirely the wrong way
Then I skipped the first grade, i.e. the grade level where they actually teach you how to write, so I missed my chance for a teacher to notice I was holding the pencil wrong and correct me
So I just kind of went through the rest of my life holding the pencil in the absolute worst way possible, and I still do it to this day
i remember noticing that one of my math teachers holds writing implements in an unusual way.
if I recall correctly, rather than having the usual thumb and index finger holding the tip between them, he holds pens and pencils basically between his middle and ring fingers, with the middle and index fingers curled around the shaft, resulting in a nearly vertical orientation of the pen/pencil.
i also found I was able to vaguely imitate his handwriting by doing the same.

I mean, there's no reason you couldn't try to fix it. I guess it's a matter of if you care enough to
I've just...kind of learned to live with it? I rarely need to actually handwrite pages at a time anymore; if I ever get beyond a paragraph or so, I just type it instead.
I guess that's leaning on computers as a crutch in a very real way, but...I dunno. The alternative is going to the effort of basically learning how to write all over again.

I got bounced from kindergarten to kindergarten for "behavioral issues", and by the time I was on my, oh I think fourth kindergarten, my parents went to the Board of Education and demanded I be put in second grade where I belonged, because I was 7 by then anyways.
Then I just progressed through the grades as usual until I got arrested in 7th grade, and the principal tried to expel me, but the district superintendent was on my side and instead came up with plans for accommodations that involved going straight into a program in the high school, so...I skipped 8th grade as well. (That's why I was 13 as a high school freshman.)

I guess I shouldn't casually infodump like this, but...eh. I'm not particularly ashamed of any of this anymore.
