Will we ever get past the use of written “signatures”?

It seems rather trivial in this day and age that when you “sign” your name to something, if becomes “legally binding”...
For instance, if you sign an NDA, you’re locked into, legally, the terms therein.
I’ve never had an issue, but I’ve been watching “The West Wing” and they sign, what seem to be, VERY important documents that are basically upheld as “fingerprints in stone”.
Besides “fingerprint” “signatures”, what do you think would be the next unimpeachable acknowledgement device for everyday agreements and important documents?

I feel like society would collapse if people weren't legally held to their word in professional settings. Especially with business related items like loans, deals, etc...

You might have something here
I'll go in with you on it, we'll be rich
We can call it "Docusign" or something like that (not that because that name would never work)

Is it done before a notary and witnesses? The real key to a physical signature being legally binding is having people willing to testify that it was you who did it. If an electronic signaturd can be done the same way, no reason why it wouldnt work.

You’re right though, that’s the only way that a signature should/could be legally binding.
From a signee’s perspective, why not just use a different “signature” every time you sign your name to something..? Just in case....

Does this have anything to do with schools no longer teaching cursive writing?
