Contrary to the contrarians here, actual WRITING needs to be maintained. That includes cursive, which is just a shorthand faster way of writing.
Don’t count on having your precious computers always available. And do we always need to have them for stupid stuff such as simple quick notes to each other? Some fools seem to think so. Much easier to write a few words than whip out your I-thing and type it.
The whole future of the Post-It Note industry depends on handwriting.
