Is cursive writing going the way of the dodo bird?

Last night, after I picked up and and read a piece of cursive writing, my 22 year-old step daughter mentioned that she cannot read or write cursive. As I read she said in awe, “you can read that?” She explained that she might have learned it once upon a time but hasn’t used it since because she began typing her school work in fifth grade. Even her signature is a cursive/printing hybrid! Do digital natives have no use for cursive handwriting? Is it becoming extinct? Do you have an opinion about the disappearance of cursive?
