I’m awaiting the outcome of students who only print or type.

Do you recall the trial where the witness said that she could read but couldn’t read writing?

There must also be a future impact of the “Twitter” restriction of 240 characters (regardless of thought?).

no need for capitalization, punctuation

I think that we’re into the Eloi generation, perhaps v.2?

Yes, that was the Zimmerman trial. The witness, Rachel Somethingorother, was handed a note allegedly written by her and asked to read it out loud to the court, but she couldn't because she couldn't read cursive writing.

Sadly, she's the tip of the iceberg. The younger generations can hardly scribble their own names.
