Excellent observation John. Cursive going the way of hieroglyphics is apparently inevitable though it never crossed my mind before. Perhaps because I’ve always been pathetic at it. My handwriting is illegible, even to me. That said, my printing is not much better, but readable, barely. Having been in the computer/mobile tech industry since the late 70’s I’m a proto-digital native who’s always been personally grateful for stuff that let me skip cursive communication though, as you point out, it’s sad to see an art form slip away. I’m also assuming this is a global situation. Perhaps there’s a bright side as technology makes global communication easier. We can only hope.
