Cursive or Nah

While I was flipping through Scholastic Scope. I came across an article named "Is it time for Cursive to Die?". Do you remember writing cursive? Was it necessary? Do you use it? Well most schools have stopped teaching cursive. They say that there are more important things to concentrate on then cursive. I think that we should stop writing in cursive. Although many people do prefer it including my self I feel that children must be brought into the future. Now in day everyone types everything. If you walk into most classrooms now you will hear the sound of kids typing away. Not pencils scribbling away. What do you think should cursive be a thing of the past?
