Can evolving smart technology replicate the personal touch of handwriting?

Despite being something that many of us have taken for granted since we were very young, the journey of handwriting through history is a fascinating thing to consider. One of man's most enduring inventions, what started as carving tallies into wood or stone to mark numbers made the jump to recording language over 5,200 years ago. The Mesopotamians claim this honour circa 3200BCE, beating the Mesoamerican peoples to the idea by a good 2,600 years.
