I'll say this about my experience.
About 20 years ago, I saw that high school students had problems writing out every letter in cursive. Students may have been able to read them, but not write them from memory.
More recently, I work in a position where you have to read a lot of old scanned documents. There are documents that I could easily read, but staff in their early 20's found hard to read. They've eventually learned how, but the process to learn took longer than it did when I was their age.
I'll be surprised if it is an expected skill to read a document instead of Ctrl+F thirty years from now.
