Do kids not write in cursive anymore? Why not?

These hurt me and I'm not old:

7. “Caramel macchiato” and “venti half-caf vanilla latte” have always been street corner lingo.
28. They’ve never recognized that pointing to their wrists was a request for the time of day.
46. Nirvana is on the classic oldies station.
