    They don’t teach typing anymore. Which is like. Makes zero sense.

    I see college kids typing out essays with two index fingers.

    No one learns typing unless forced. It’s super boring.

    They need to make it mandatory in public schools. Or future generations will be unable to type properly.

    I learned it back in like 8th grade or something.

      When I was a kid they taught us how to type in school. But they taught everybody how to type wrong: with your hands parallel to each other, instead of wrists straight. I nearly got carpal tunnel syndrome and had to learn how to type a second time!
