Why We'll See the End of Cursive This Decade

Written by J.J.

My mother would've been horrified to know that one of the property assets she agreed to sell was signed away with only an electronic signature...just a virtual scrawl on a digital form in Ariel font. How could anyone be liable without their unique signature on the document she would've worried. Though she saw the signs of our society downgrading the importance of signatures several years before that transaction, in checks that were casually cashed without one, she never imagined that electronic signatures were the beginning of a larger move away from cursive. Many signs now point to the possibility that longhand, a personalized form of communication popularized in the early stages of our country, could be headed for a digital demise. Why?

 

 Note: Handwriting is an umbrella term for letters created with pen or pencil. Cursive, Longhand, and Script refer specifically to the practice of joining letters.

2019: Year In Review

Written by J.J.

America was flooded with viewpoints in 2019. In fact, viewpoints may have overwhelmed facts causing some to say America is in a post-factual period. Bolstering that claim were more "fabricated facts" or claims of "fake news" and sophisticated technological manipulations that supplanted truth with truth-like fictions at increasing rates. AI photo creations, for instance, are now hardly distinguishable from reality and are used to spread viewpoints that seem to come from real people. That phenomenon, called "deepfakes" results in "disinformation" when misused and may be the biggest challenge to our fact based reality. That said, this review of 2019 has been diligently researched and facts included were corroborated by other trustworthy sources. As with anything you may detect a viewpoint but unlike "fabricated facts" or disinformation--- my goal is not to deceive.

In the 2 minute video above Suzanne Spaulding, Senior Advisor, Homeland Security, International Security Program speaks about the way disinformation attacks democracy.

A Christmas Carol as a Guide to Personal Legacy

Written by J.J.

I love A Christmas Carol in part for it's comments on personal legacy. Have you considered yours? The shape of our legacy comes into focus by reviewing how we use our resources and what attitudes we hold toward life and our fellow man. If, like Ebenezer Scrooge, the story's main character, you haven't had time to fully consider how those attitudes and choices write the legacy you leave behind then these winter months are good times for reflection. 

Art above by John Leech.

In A Christmas Carol, as you may recall, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts/spirits of Christmas past, present and Christmas yet to come. The sights they unveil prompt personal transformation by leading him to a deeper truth and stark encounter with mortality. The experience alters his legacy bringing joy into his final years. In this blog I wonder what past, present and future spirits might share with us in today's complex world and how they could guide us in building our legacy.
