A dying art

I was thinking about this today as I laboriously wrote a letter to my grandmother.

Where is cursive writing going? Do any of you still use cursive? Everyone now is taught cursive mandatorily, but do you think that soon it will become an elective, like Spanish or Art class?

I almost never write cursive anymore. These days, cursive is quaint and hardly used, because of computers. I only use it when I write letters, because I love writing letters and I get some pleasure out of using expensive stationary and beautiful penmanship. But I'm hardly the norm.

So what do you think? Is cursive necessary, except to read old Snoopy cartoons? Do you use it?
