Yes, I think that's pretty much all true, now.

100 years ago, when accounting and bookkeeping were all done by hand, writing cursive was probably quite a bit faster, and with all the practice you got, just as legible.

In high school, I wrote almost everything in cursive, but over the next 10 years, computers replaced so much writing that I fell out of practice. I'm not sorry it's gone.



Even 35 years ago when I wrote exclusively in cursive, it was significantly faster than printing. Everyone wrote in cursive.

It's odd to even see people make the argument that cursive isn't faster. Literally no one wrote in print except young children.


Still waiting for a really good stylus driven computer ecosystem. :(
