I remember getting such an inferiority complex from my cursive writing classes that I would always block when I had to write essays -- especially in "creative writing" class. It wasn't until I discovered computers and word processing programs that I was able to actually write and express myself. On the other hand, some people have beautiful handwriting and some people have beautiful calligraphy script. As an art and a mode of self-expression, I'm sure that cursive writing will survive. As a required tool for communication? I doubt it. And no big loss for me, personally.
