How do you endorse a check or sign a contract.....with an"X" ?? The nuns made us do all those exercises of circles on lined paper to get the flow correct. Today's kids are lazy and just slobs (most of them) and then there's "clock boy"

Endorse a check with an "X"; didn't we do this when we didn't have access to an education?

Do you think kids today know what this "&" is called ??

Someone should do the playground like a Watter's World and ask around.

Do you ever try to explain how to read a map to someone?

Letters.
Would we have a WWII museum if not for letters from home & Soldiers?

Cards.
Why is Hallmark still in business when you can send an email?

Books.
Easier to ban books if they are never published.

Progress or regression?

I vaguely recall when the invention of the printing press occurred (I will not Google it.) but I know it was life changing.
