“Kids should be taught how to print, because it’s all they’ll ever need
if they find themselves without a cell phone to text on, or a keyboard
to type with.”
I'm pretty sure I had a stroke after reading that quote. Any statement that includes
the phrase "...because it's all they'll ever need..." makes me
immediately suspicious and fairly certain that the speaker/writer is, at best, shortsighted (though "idiot" seems a more appropriate description).
It saddens me to think that we're being stripped down to
our most basic (and base) skills by the advancement of technology.
Those abilities that make us uniquely and preciously human are being
deemed irrelevant because they don't have an immediate application in
the world of the keyboard? It seems we're reverting as a species in the
name of progress.
No worries, I'm not preparing to move to the
Montana wilderness so I can devote all my time to mailing bombs to ITT
Tech students. I just wanted to share my lament. End rant here. :)

I'd love to get your feedback, and for you to share your Peanut Tricks, but if you post something that falls into the realm of "the not-nice" or "the inappropriate," I'll delete it quicker than a jackrabbit on a date.
