Just how legal do you think a contract of any kind would be with a name printed or just an "X" in the place where a signature is required?

Electronic signatures are already legal in many contexts, and e-notarizing is also here. Even longhand signatures are going the way of the buggy whip. Since when do we want our schools to spend years forcing kids to learn a primitive art form?

By that same kind of ridiculous reasoning, why bother having kids learn math etc., in schools then? After all can't they just use a calculator?

If we followed your way of thinking I can just imagine the panic and kios there would be if someone wrote the code to a massive virus that spread around the world and shut all computer operations down. You and your ilk would be responsible for everything coming to a complete standstill. Those who have the same stupid idea's as you are responsible for the 'dumbing down' of todays kids.
