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

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the declining relevance of cursive writing in modern education and daily life. Participants express a consensus that cursive is becoming obsolete, with many preferring print or a hybrid of cursive and print for clarity and speed. Notably, several contributors mention that cursive is primarily used for signatures, while others highlight the challenges of maintaining legibility in cursive handwriting.

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.
