60: Is Handwriting Doomed?

James and Shawn talk about whether the rise of smartphones and computers will make handwriting unnecessary. But before attempting to answer that question, they make a diversion into Bible design and how it can affect your reading experience. They discuss fonts, typefaces, leading, and whitespace, so beware if you aren't a typography nerd. They then address the main topic and talk about whether we should make students learn cursive and whether we lose something if we don't. Is handwriting an essential skill that we should keep teaching even if we eventually never use it in real life? Should we be worried that we will lose the ability to write by hand, or are rumors of the death of handwriting greatly exaggerated?
