Cursive Writing

Since cursive writing is being phased out of the schools, does that mean no one will ever have to write their signature on documents?

I can foresee cursive becoming a code and used by secret societies. Perhaps autograph collections will take on a value that suggests one should begin to invest in them. I wonder if a thumb print will replace the signature on a painting or drawing.

At least medical students will now be able to concentrate on subjects like anatomy and not spend time learning how to write a prescription in a legible manner so pharmacists understand them.

Recently we have had to sign legal documents. They were sent via email and a special program did the signing for us. It opened the document so you could read it and then scrolled to all the places you needed to sign or initial. It placed an electronic initial or electronic signature in all the right spots. What used to take hours took about 5 minutes.

So maybe no one will really have to sign in pen and ink anymore.
