Zoomers’ Signature Problem Is Nearly a Meme
By the way, the US elections showed an interesting point: zoomers who actively supported Harris encountered problems when voting by mail.
It was necessary to put two identical signatures, and for many it turned out to be difficult. And all because in American schools since 2010 they practically do not teach handwriting.
In addition, teenagers were also called to clarify the data, but they simply did not pick up the phone from unfamiliar numbers.
But if you think about it, this is quite understandable: the digital generation grew up with a keyboard in their hands, and not with paper notebooks and pens. A signature, which remains a symbol of identity for older people, is now something of an archaism for many young people. It is easier for them to leave a QR code or put a fingerprint.
In addition, every second person has an online document flow - no papers, no autographs. So the awkwardness when having to leave a signature looks more like a cultural shift.
Well, for some people, even an autograph in the form of scribbles is almost retro.
