Do you think writing in cursive is going out of style?

The discussion centers around the declining relevance of cursive writing in modern education and communication. Participants express concerns that cursive is becoming obsolete, with many opting for printed text or digital communication instead. While some acknowledge cursive's speed advantages, they often find their handwriting to be illegible or messy, leading to a preference for printing. A hybrid approach, combining cursive and print, is common among users, with many only using cursive for signatures. The conversation highlights the belief that cursive should be taught primarily for signature purposes, as its practical use diminishes in a digital age. Overall, there is a consensus that cursive writing is losing its significance, with many favoring clarity and presentation over speed.

I also do some kind of a mix but mostly printing...cursive for familiar info and printing for everything else. I've always taken a lot of notes...don't want to remember all of the details (business deals not science)...but it is necessary to gather all of the details at a later date...if I don't print...I can't understand my own notes without a lot of effort.
