I hardly write with paper at all now. I have no pen on my desk, searching for one just a few times a year. It’s not just cursive that’s dying, it’s writing by hand period.

The last great hope for cursive was, to nobody’s awareness, the Apple Newton. One interacted via stylus (no virtual keyboard) and the most effective way to enter words was cursive handwriting. Alas, that device died, and the last compelling mundane reason to use a flowing script vanished.

Wait until the first EMP. Then that which the leftists tell us is “dying” will suddenly spring back to life once more. Kinda like the Kremlin and manual typewriters . . .
