I'm in the weird in between gen z and millennial. I only use cursive to sign my name and read grandma's Christmas card. Frankly, it's not useful for me. I'm glad we spent the time in school taking typing classes instead of cursive.

What is crazy to me is that my youngest cousins (in their early teens) use the hunt and peck method to type. Despite that, they're not super slow. I was absolutely shocked when I found that out. I think it was all the years of using a phone or tablet instead of an actual keyboard that created a habit.

They don't have typing classes anymore. Crazy I know. But my gen Z relatives do the same thing.
