Is cursive dead? Is the bound book dead? Is the sovereign state dead?

Imagine the power of a global government.

Electronic books, cell phones, smart meters all cut off, all nations suffering the same.

No nation to see the suffering of another and come to their aid.

We all become slaves to the few.

Somehow I don’t think people using cursive is going to stop that. It was an annoying and post dated thing when I had to learn it in the 70s, and now there’s computers making it even MORE post dated.

That's why, even though Kindle books are so handy, I continue to collect original source document collections and classic books in hard copies. I just keep thinking that someday my family or descendants will be grateful. Even if I don't have time to read them all, : ). I just want to have a library to pass down to my kids and grandkids. The monks kept a lot of books safe during the anarchy of the fall of the Roman Empire. We may be called on to do the same. How the Irish Saved Civilization
