because supposedly EVERYONE would just use a typewriter.

Yeah, that's stupid. Like everyone will have a typewriter available all the time ...

I doubt that you ever heard of John Dewey's very stupid idea, so of course you don't know when he said this. FYI...this was advocated 100 or so years ago.

Even 50 years ago, not everyone owned a typewriter.

And how do you sign anything, with a typewriter or a computer, or a cell phone?

And then there are all of the millennias worth of handwritten things, which those who never learn how to write in cursive, can't read.

Also, as I clearly stated earlier, there are parts of the brain which don't develop, unless one is taught how to write cursive.

You truly should refrain from bothering with topics you neither know about nor understand. ;^)
