It's inevitable in a society where electronic keyboard and keypad devices have become universally available that most people will lose (or never learn) the skills of cursive writing....just like most people have lost familiarity with horseback riding, shoeing, training, taking care of, and equipping a horse, and maintaining a horseless carriage after about 100 years of the automobile becoming almost universally available.

These things happen when society changes and new inventions take over. Old skills are lost. New skills take their place.

But just as there are still a certain number of people who DO know how to deal with horses, there will probably always be a certain number of people who maintain good cursive writing skills. They'll just be a fairly small minority, that's all.

And the world will keep on turning.

I hardly EVER do any cursive writing anymore, but I'm still capable of it...I'm just not nearly as good at it as I was 30 years ago. This doesn't mean I've gotten stupider. It doesn't mean I'm less literate. It means I've been using keyboards instead. And that's okay.
