Hello, I've waited here for you.

“[T]hese days, Danesi isn’t signing his name the way he used to. The electronic signature capture pad — the ubiquitous device at retail checkout counters — just leaves a pixelated mess. And when he writes letters of recommendation for his students, nobody wants a handwritten signature at all. “My signature is my email,” he says. “That to me is the death knell of the signature.”

Remember when we were kids and we would scribble on a blank pad of paper all day to get our perfect signature? Or was that just me? And call me old-fashioned, but I still really love looking at penmanship and seeing how unique each person’s writing is. The death of handwritten signature is to PIN as emails are to letters though.
