I'll be 67 in a few weeks. It hurts my hands to write in cursive, and I've never been very good at it. Most of my life, I've printed things - maybe it has something to do with being left-handed. I've used a computer every day sing 1988, and that is my preferred writing medium. I still print out and snailmail some letters, but I admit that most of my communication is by email. I always include a salutation and a signature on my emails, though. I started texting regularly about a year ago, when I got a phone that allowed me to dictate texts instead of typing on that tiny keyboard. It makes very few mistakes. I find texting very handy for conveying brief information, especially after the time that it's appropriate to make a phone call. I don't converse by text - just use it for appointment information and the like. -Joe-
