Not long ago I was trying out some of the new hand writing applications for the IPad. There are several to choose from and while they all seem to have some promise, most of them tend to reduce one's writing to a kind of scrawl–just the way those supermarket credit card machines can ruin your signature. I was joking about this with a friend the other day and I said: "Well, there goes the Palmer Method!" We're both mid fifties-ish guys who can remember being drilled in cursive writing way back in the first grade. So technology will probably finish off anything that resembles hand writing but now there's news that today's young celebrities can't write at all.
