I am a programmer by trade but still find myself writing a copious amount on paper, I like the tactile feel. My writing is a mixture of print and cursive. I think that when hand-written notes and letters were a major component of communication it was much more important to have a standard writing system for communication's sake. The reality of the situation is that normally the only person reading anything I've handwritten is me, so I write in my print-cursive hybrid and read it just fine. If I'm writing to someone else it will more than likely be typed. This isn't really anything to be happy or sad about, just the reality that time marches on and things change.
