Ask HK: Are hand written signatures meaningless?
3 by mnming | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I don't know if it's just me dipping too much of my life in the digital world. I feel stupid whenever anyone ask me to use hand written signature to prove my identity. My hand writing is exceptionally bad and inconsistent. My signature is different every time. I can't even tell if my signature was actually written by me. So, if there are people like me exist (presumably in good quantity), I wonder what is the point of recording signature to prove my identity?
