I don’t know why I decided to take typing in high school but I did for two years and I have probably used what I learned in typing class more than anything else I learned in high school. Now it seems that everyone learns to use a keyboard but in the old days that was not the case.

I think one of the differences was that we did all our classwork and tests using a paper and pen/pencil and wrote in cursive. Now everyone does everything on a computer and cursive is becoming a lost art.
Found that you can tell whether someone learned on a typing keyboard or on a computer keyboard by watching which keys they use when typing numbers. We old typewriter users still tend to use that top row of numbers. Newbies use the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard.
