In many european countries all schoolkids use fountain pens at school, and then keep using them later in life. So it is very unlikely that they will die out any soon.



Actually I've heard that's being phased out in some countries in favor of... typing classes!


What do you mean? It is not like the kids have "fountain pen classes". They use fountain pens in all their classes. Yet, having typing classes is a great idea! Learning to touch-type is a very important ability in the modern world.
