Seems like there is definitely a need to, still.
Oh believe me, I wish we lived in a world where people put as half as much thought into their typing skills as they do their Starbucks orders... I still remember typing drills in school... I took that crap seriously.
Metaphor is dying as well and I wish it wouldn't. That is a great point. Also, the money spent on coffee is enormous. I just make my own for a lot less.
I totally agree... People can't infer from missing information anymore either and I have to think there's something in common there.
Also, picked up a $20 burr grinder and started grinding my own beans. They keep way longer and two cups a day comes out to something ridiculous like 25¢ versus, what... $8 for a single venti that's really just a glorified milkshake?
Granted.
Written language ceases to exist.
"so you've seen to-.....what, what was that word again I should have wrote it down when that was a thing. Now communications are just burned into our brains. Sorry for the large amount of literally hurtful words"

Granted. You remember nothing different about the past but, all other things being equal, autocorrect is about to be invented.
(I think you meant: "I wish there were never a need for autocorrect")
Granted. Nothing happens.
I mean, do you really NEED autocorrect? Sure, your text is full of typos, but do you really NEED to spell things properly? Sure, nobody can understand a word you say, but do you really NEED to communicate?
Granted. ChatGPT now types every word for you with no way for you to input what you want it to say.
