In my world, not only is cursive writing obsolete having been totally replaced with e mail and Word, but the telephone is near obsolete. All my clients have telephones but don’t answer them and if you want contact e mail is the best.
Further, lettering, once the pride of many engineers is totally obsolete because all “drawings” are computer generated and rendered in 3 D if desired. Tablet computers and the cloud accessible via wi fi allows me to access drawings in the field, in Charlotte, stored on computers in Mumbai. There is absolutely no place for cursive in this situation.
I’m old and can both write in cursive and Letter but the need for either just no longer exists
