Your father must have been a wise man. Growing up, I remember young men were not interested in learning to touch-type. Today, most young men grew up typing on a computer. My sons used software that taught the proper method. Two of them type between 100-120 wpm. Both much faster than my 60 wpm maximum. Another is like the typical guys I grew up with: He developed his own form of typing and rolled his eyes whenever I mentioned the proper form. I argued that the proper form makes everything faster and easier. It’s useful in college and at the office. But, I have to admit, the men I grew up with did just fine with their own method.

I never gave it much though. Dad said you will take typing so I did. Before I retired, the younger engineers were amazed that I could type like I could.
