With all respect, you are incorrect, sir. Keyboarding is the quickest way to write a novel or computer program, trade a stock, take notes, write a legal brief.
I’ve been a technical writer for over 20 years, have a Master’s degree in Computer Science, worked in college as a computer programmer, and taught kids and adults computer literacy, apps, and programming. I never learned “keyboarding.” And I would not waste classroom time teaching it either. Make it available for students who want to learn it on their own time, sure. But never require it.
Writers and programmers should type less, and think more.
