Come on people....BASS!

+1 teo_audio. I always thought that emails were the biggest enemy of true communication until texting came along. Probably why they invented emoji to try to add clarity of intent to an otherwise easily misinterpreted written comment stripped of inflection and verbal cues for the sake of minimal effort.

Are we really that busy with matters of importance that a phone call is too ponderous in order to ensure the meeting of the minds?

It's nice to know I'm not alone when it comes to "smart" phones and texting. This is how AI takes over.

One. Step. At. A. Time.

I hear school district are going to stop teaching cursive writing as it is just "too difficult" for modern youngsters to learn. Don't tell this to the kids attending "The Latin School" in Chicago. They learn Latin language as most will be doctors and lawyers. Quoting Judge Smails: "The world needs ditch diggers too.".

dweller, I'd heard about abandoning cursive writing....
As someone who the nuns attempted to beat proper Palmer Method Cursive into and still failed to conform, I'm of mixed mind.  My personal handwriting would best serve a pharmacist...and we'd have a quieter world for it.  I gave up long ago and generally print the rare message and note.  Like most, my signature is a scrawled tangle of lines with a vague attempt at some sort of 'form following function' (maybe it should look kinda like the letters it mimics...).
Cursive is going to follow calligraphy into the 'arts & crafts'....most will not miss it..

When all that's left is emoji, will we have come full circle to pictography as in Chinese or Japanese?
