I Seldom take the opportunity to write in cursive these days. My signature however still bears the mark of a person who took some pride in learning to write in the cursive manner.

What will the signatures of todays children who don’t learn to write cursive Look Like?

Are we headed back to the day when scrawling the letter X as ones signature was sufficient?....

In short time, handwriting of any type is going to be seen as some relic of a bygone era when people used typewriters, carbon paper and had to spin a rotary dial to make a phone call.

There will always be some eccentrics that will still practice the art, just as some people even today will learn Morse code or keep paper maps in their car.

Just about everybody under the age of 40 are highly skilled with keyboards. Soon, you will be able to reliably dictate anything you would normally write or type today as voice input will be perfected.

Most documents will be signed electronically with a fingerprint, retina scan or maybe through facial recognition signature.
