Most printers say they print because it is faster but actually it is not because of all the starts and stops. Also I have seen printing that is harder to read than the person's cursive. The main problem is that people forget how to form the cursive letters when they don't use it much. Printing is harder to analyze than cursive but the first thing it shows is that they disconnect from others and do not want others to know what they feel thinking in this way they cannot be hurt by others.
