Funny enough, there was an op-ed from a professor lamenting the fact that younger generations can't read cursives. He worried that the current generation will become future historians who may not be able to read them.
Might as well lament not being able to write and read cuneiforms or oghams by the masses is what I thought to myself. If cursive writing becomes obsolete and relic of history, so be it. Historians specialise reading ancient texts so the same expectations should be applied to future historians to specialise reading cursives, if they are so interested.
