I don't recall that I hated cursive, but by the late 1960s (no consumer electronic keyboards anywhere) I switched to printing for all my middle-school homework. I also started omitting uppercase letters most of the time, especially at the beginning of sentences. I dont' recall any of my public school teachers trying to force me back to cursive, surprisingly. Nowadays, all-lower-case printed proper names of various advertised products is quite common, which was not the case at all fifty years ago.
