See, that's why everything needs to be in .txt. Because at least that one isn't going away. Probably. But you still need electricity to access it, whereas a book, all you need is light.

That's why I want them to keep teaching kids handwriting as well as printing. No, no one ever uses it; even I only ever used it for writing "Merry Christmas" on cards to my grandmother.

BUT. I can read handwriting. My six-year-old daughter can't (yet), not even her own name. Will they ever use it? Possibly, on very rare occasions. Probably not, so far as writing in it goes.

But without it, so much completely accessible knowledge will be lost...
