Interesting. I think it's just no longer useful.

The idea of cursive-- correct me if I'm wrong-- was to make writing by hand quicker and easier by allowing you to flow in fluid strokes rather than block printing which is slow and methodical.

The thing is, we just don't write by hand as often as we once needed to. If done at all, it is rare and printing can suffice.

I even signed VERY important documents on line with autosign .

There is no real reason to learn cursive.

I didn't know why it was invented. My mom didn't know how to print!

Again, I'm just speculating, but it was likely because it is a faster method of handwriting. If you're good at cursive, you can knock out a paragraph in the time it takes a printer to write a sentence and a half because you are flowing from letter to letter rather than putting them down in blocks.
