I feel they all have their purpose.
My handwriting is usually a bit illegible. However, I LOVE the flow of a fountain pen or dip pen. It feels somehow elegant against paper or parchment. While I take joy of writing with a pen, I don't think many people take joy in reading what I've put down.
I don't like using pencils for writing as they tend to smudge and smear on other pages. I do enjoy using them for sketching. Ballpoint is also enjoyed for this use.
Keyboard is my primary means of writing for communication with others, but it feels more mechanical. I use it because I have to in the office and on the internet.
If I had my way, I'd only use a fountain pen (even with the occasional messy ink burp.)

I prefer the keyboard. My hand gets tired easily if I've been writing for a while, and with this my writing can become somewhat sloppy. Even though typing my be a bit impersonal to some, I'd rather type and keep all my writings nice and neat.

I prefer to use a keyboard because it is much faster for me to type than it is for me to write. I still use pen and paper though to jot down notes and stuff but a keyboard is just easier for me to use.
I don't like using pencils because it has rubbed a callus on my finger and it now hurts to use one. A pen isn't so bad but I still prefer the keyboard over everything else.

If I had to write something like a paper I always write it down first then typed it out. For some reason if I just couldn't think straight if I used a keyboard. Now I can think and type at the same time using a keyboard so now I would have to say keyboard because it's a lot faster and no wasted paper.

Honestly, the thing that I prefer the most would have to be the keyboard. The reason why I enjoy the keyboard is for the simple fact that I can type faster then I can write with pencil or pen. Another thing is for the fact that there is spell check when it comes to a keyboard. I hate writting something, then inbetween writting something, I come across a word that I do not know how to spell. It bothers me so badly. One other reason why I enjoy the keyboard so much is for the fact that it deals with technology. I love technology.
