When I see that I ask myself:

- Was good handwriting necessary for success in that time?

- If so, how many people as creative as Edison languished because their handwriting sucked.

That's a good point. It's like how writing a good email is pretty essential these days, and people might lose out these days because of poor "online" communication

Listening to the average engineer presenting makes it really hard not to fall asleep. Reading the average engineers email it's often hard to find the point they're trying to make.

I think communication should be taught more in undergraduate engineering curricula.
