Slow down on the technology, it’s bad enough children aren’t learning cursive in school, with this they won’t need to learn to write,” Kathy Klein wrote.
“Brilliant idea! Except we now have so many people who are unable to write, or sign their names. Now we’ll have those who are unable to write, and type,” Sherry Samaroo said.

What is your baud rate?
To a computer geek this is like watching old family movies.
