)I still write things by hand because it seems to engage another part of my brain to help me remember. I can remember most of a shopping list that I’ve written down, even if I forgot the list itself. I have so little patience for forming words, and cursive actually can be written so much faster than print once it becomes second nature. I’ve fallen into a weird hybrid of cursive and print that defaults to whichever letter is able to be formed fastest. If you never got to the point where cursive happened “accidentally” then yeah I guess it can seem pointless, but it can be super useful with enough proficiency.
I guess that’s true now that you mention it. I never studied throughout high school but if I took notes on it I just knew it. 99% of the notes I took never even got looked at once after moving on to the next page, but I knew that stuff. Maybe this kind of thing is one of the last few uses to die. And this in and of itself won’t prevent it from becoming extinct eventually.
