It turns out that one of the best classes I ever took in high school was typing. Of course a buddy of mine and I took the class because that’s where all the girls were. It payed off in the long run because I am fairly good on the keyboard.
As I grew up, I entered the electronics industry as a draftsman, then got into design. We printed everything and I continue to print everything today. I guess the main thing is “Can you communicate effectively?” Things are going to evolve, with us or without us.
Same with me. I 'print' faster than I can write....................
I learned how to type in the 60s with a record and workbook that came with my dad’s portable typewriter. It was fun. I had no idea how many man years I was to end up spending on a keyboard.
I have been able to touch type numbers though. I have to stop and look if I type a number.
We printed everything and I continue to print everything today.

I have a brother who is left-handed, as were all four of my brothers. He never uses cursive. It seems so strange to see a letter from him that is completely in block letters.
My handwriting has evolved over the years to a combination of cursive and block. I think everyone develops his own style over time.
