It my day we used to chisel stone tablets.

We were real men and women back then!

“Engraving used to be a big deal.”

As well as setting type by hand, and even WAY cooler was the operation of those massive Linotype machines!

But quite frankly, I’m VERY happy not to have to have a Linotype operator format something for me when I can do it myself exactly like I want it in a few minutes and print it out myself or email it to a printer who gets it back in a day or two.

I for one won’t miss cursive writing. It’s hard to do, hard to read, and nearly useless in today’s society. Perhaps it could join the ranks of Chinese calligraphy fans.
