When I took my drivers test years ago to get a license
to drive an automobile, the never required me to
prove that I could hitch a horse team to a wagon.
The youngsters today, likewise, tell me that the
departments of motor vehicles around the country
do not ask them to prove they are proficient with
buggy whips.

Enough said.

The youngsters today still tell me that they must learn to use a pencil
and
learn to write script. Typing and word processing are taught AFTER they
have learned to write manually. Enough said.

Bad anology since morse isn't a foundation to any other
body of radio knowledge and/or language skills or
writing skills.


Manual printing and cursive aren't a foundation for any other skills either.
All notes can now be take by digital recorders or entered into a PDA. Bills
can be paid on line eliminating the need to sign checks. Debit cards can be
used in stores and you enter your PIN number. Credit cards could be
converted to that system too. Manual printing and cursive can be totally
eliminated as they are not needed as a foundation for any language skills
since one can learn to read without writing. Composition doesn't need
manual skills either. It can all be done on the typewriter or word
processor.

Let's have a go at "No Handwriting International".
