An afternoon at the museum.....well at least a few minutes.

Visited the new museum yesterday, it was interesting to see how everything has evolved all right there in front of my face. And it's pretty cool how we can now use QR codes to link different things and find out information. The writing table really made the reality of people using print over cursive. I personally still write in cursive because I can write so much faster and it held especially when I'm taking notes on something. Cursive is almost an artistic form of writing, and it's said to know that it is hardly used or taught. For instance, I have a younger sibling, who is now an eighth grader in middle school. When we got passports fora a cruise we went on a few years ago, and he had to get an I.D. made, for neither forms of identification could he barely sign his name on the signature section because he was never taught and could only print. My mother worked with him to be able to sign his name, but that's about it. Kids these days are taught only print, and "write" most things on the computer, and most will make grammatical or spelling mistakes unknowingly because of such programs, or features as auto-correct. It's pretty sad, although it helps our society do things faster, it's also hurting us because we're not learning from it, we're just getting by without any recognition of a mistake. On another not the other things in the museum were interesting, I saw toys and different things that brought back childhood memories. We've come so far, and we're never moving backward, only forward, to newer and better things.
