Paper communications in general (let alone cursive) are becoming obsolete.

Just look at the topic of the forum you are posting on.

I want more books with less space in my home taken up.
I am willing to expend considerable capitol to make this happen.
With businesses that must keep lots of records, this is true to an even greater extent.
So, you are saying, that within 12+10 years, that would be 22 years from now, every business, every school, will be completely electronically run?

I think that's a very optimistic viewpoint on your end.

Understand. I do all my banking online. I pay my bills online. I email and text. I have no problem with e-books, or e-bills, or ordering online. I don't live in a cave.

I just don't see the value of tossing, what, how many years have we written in cursive?

To me, thats a step backwards. Like Kindles and paper books, both can co-exist.
