Dunno, I feel some form of cursive writing is just a natural human thing to do.
I was all for "maximum personal cyborg-ness" at an earlier stage of life, but I now feel the urge to be away from the screen+keyboard for some time, and pen-and-paper is a good fit for that, and ... cursive writing is just a good way of _using_ pen and paper.
As long as you are physically embodied, you're going to feel some satisfaction in "doing things with your hands" (i.e. other than typing or pointing).
Making marks on a writing medium in a quick, _flowing_ way, using a writing instrument ... is a form of communication, or even a form of expression, that you can do quite well if you try a little bit.
- 8note 4y agoFor a standard modern pen, printing works well. There's no constraints imposed by the pen about how long your strokes should be, or if the pen will drip.
- Doxin 4y agoFor shits and giggles though you should get a cheap fountain pen and try cursive with that again for a bit. Yes printing works best when using a cheap ballpoint, but cursive is much quicker given the correct instrument. Still probably don't teach it in school because who in their right mind is going to bother with the hassle of a fountain pen in this day and age? Typing is wildly faster than either print or cursive for the same amount of practice.
