Have you ever wondered why they don't teach kids to write in cursive anymore?"
And no, it's not a coincidence that they tend to use it less and less.
Writing in cursive means translating thoughts into words; it forces you not to take your hand off the paper.
A thought-stimulating effort, that allows you to associate ideas, tie them and put them into relation.
Not by any chance the word cursive comes from the Latin «currere», which runs, which flows, because the thought is winged, runs, flies.
Of course cursive has no place in today's world, a world that does its best to slow down the development of thought, to stuff it.
Think that cursive was born in Italy and then spread all over the world.
Why ?
Because it was compact, elegant, clear writing. Because it connects neural pathways that are only
connected in this way. And because AI cannot read it.
ahhh cursive... in the eolden days when we were in elementary school. we had a man come in once a year who would show us impressive cursive writing i guess to stimulate us to write better.. he was magical in what and how he wrote it all... i dont remember the exact events but do remember fondly of loving and looking forward to his coming... and now it makes sense.. AI cannot read it.. that was the plan in the long run... i guess we have some work to do to get these kids on mark for future cursive IF we even write on paper any more... theres a thought.. all computer even check writing.. butt we know it and have that as a special childhood memory.. so lucky we were..
