Is Cursive Writing Becoming Obsolete?

I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion in technology and education circles about cursive writing and whether it’s becoming obsolete. It’s not being taught in some elementary schools, where there is a belief that time is better spent learning other skills. According to CNN, "forty out of 50 states in the United States have adopted the Common Core curriculum, which phases out cursive writing in the classroom, for their public schools. According to its mission statement, Common Core seeks to teach skills that are 'robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.' In Common Core, the time formerly devoted to teaching cursive is spent on learning to type and other digital skills." What do you think?
