Wither Cursive?

Hello All,

I thought this might interest people here, I ran into the article via
slashdot.org . The article discusses the recent growing decline in
the cursive skills of children as they increasing favor keyboarding:

I didn't realize this was even a problem but the trend sounds logical
enough. One expert notes that children just aren't spending enough
time practicing to develop the hand muscles required for decent
writing skills. Cursive is given only "decades" to survive. Could
this be the final century for hand written text?
