Knowing how to type saved me countless hours of work going through college. I took notes in cursive, and did my outlines, but my papers were all typed. I went to grad school later in life when computers had come along. I guess I just assumed everyone learned to type in high school or before. It’s one of the few things I did learn in public schools.
All executive types back in my day made it through their schooling and careers without learning to type. It was a mark of rank.
