... which tries to identify my writing because I'm using a digital pen, it works fine :p
otherwise no I cannot read my own writing since all this digital stuff came up

But my wife may disagree...

My lettering was poor for engineering, absolutely wonderful for notes and handwritten communications. When I switched to comp sci I was one of the few who could 'fill in the blank' on tests and be readable. Helps for job applications, too, if you can find one that still uses paper you can impress the heck out of them by providing information in a usable format.
Now, that archaic scribble of chained letters referred to as handwriting? The sooner that vanishes into the mists of time, the better. I do wonder what the children growing up will use for physical signatures when they stop teaching cursive, though. A drop of blood?
I am still wondering what to do with this big pile of punch cards under all those floppy disks.

Well that would be a good idea. A drop of blood better proves your identity than a signature. Anybody can forge a signature; nobody can forge another's blood (you know, unless you cut then and take it with you :P).

Hmmm:
Hemophiliacs -- FAIL (better not start the flow if you can't stop it!)
Blood-borne pathogens -- FAIL
Idential twins -- FAIL (currently -- maybe gene expression analysis will be able to distinguish 'em)
Archival -- FAIL (it degrades pretty quickly, the analysis could be persisted, but then there's how to associate it with the "verified artifact" ...)
Situations requiring many "signatures" -- FAIL (you shouldn't need a transfusion after purchase of house or car!  )
Recent transfusion -- FAIL (not all of your blood is "yours")
Bone-marrow transplant recipient -- FAIL (same as transfusion, possibly worse: none of your blood is "yours"!)

Yes, I was well aware of the exceptions when I posted my not-so-serious comment, lol.

Better than a Doctors.
Some doctors handwritten prescriptions can barely be read by the pharmacist. We can talk of the 'probability' of getting the right medicine delivered.

I scribble down notes by hand during meetings.
And am then unable to read them.
|
|
|
|
|
But if your write down things you can easily remember it. Even if you cant read what you wrote 
Thats my previous experience
|
|
|
|
|
|
And if you write it down by hand the probability to remember it is much higher than write it on a keyboard (eg. Smartphone, Tablet, Notebook).
Even if you can't really read what you wrote down and you hat to guess what it could mean
|
|
|
|

i have keyboards everywhere: Smartphone, Laptop, Desk...
So why do i need to write things down by hand 
The problem is - when i have to write things down by hand, i can read it later (maybe), but no other person could read it 
|
|

|

Then I forget what it was for. So, that is why I prefer creating a diagram, such as ERD diagram to define what system I was trying to refer to. If you want to read what I write... You might consider learning Egyptian typygraphy[^].

But my boss seems to read it better and faster than I myself can do. Still can't explain that

Ancient Egyptians would probably consider my handwriting very neat...

Now that I think of it, for days in a row I think the only thing I write is the number of the task I'm currently working on or in some new post-its I might add to the SCRUM board 
The main explanation for this is that I like to keep all my notes in digital format, accessible from everywhere. I think it all started with the shopping lists that would always stay at home when I was going to refill the fridge 
I deliberately started removing notepads from my life and with it my already not so good handwriting went with it.

hey,
same with me actually.
but my motive was to save trees and go green ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) . so i started using less paper and more technology.

You had a more honorable reason

In school they all told me that my handwriting was so bad I had only two choices of a career; IT or being a doctor. I chose IT.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

... I'm just saying that translating Linear A[^] is probably an easier task.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I don't remember when I wrote last time on a piece of paper.
I hardly write anything other than just my signature.
Life is a computer program and everyone is the programmer of his own life.

I have had bad writing days, all I do is type with fingers or thumbs.
But I still hand write those deposit slips which are time consuming and they pass.
