We just made out new wills. Our cursive signature in a legible signature was required. Apparently if it hadn't been legible then more than 2 witnesses and the usual legal testament was required.
I personally like knowing that when I want to read a copy of a historical document, or a family Bible birth and death section, or handwritten archives in some dusty government storage room that I can do it. I don't have to rely on a computer to translate. Reading old records from past centuries is slow but very doable. I definitely appreciate that I was taught to read my own language in whatever form I encounter it. Everything the older generations learned is not passe. Many people are going back to that knowledge and calling it "going green". Some people can still drive a stick shift vehicle, sew a garment, cook from scratch and grow food and raise animals. Most can't. Too bad for us.
