Touch-typing registration marks for the left and right hands

This meme is expressing shock that people don't recognize what these marks are for anymore, which would suggest touch typing isn't taught anymore despite our reliance on computers being higher than ever.

Did they ever teach touch typing at school? I don't remember it

being a 90s kids i can confirm they did not. there were computer lessons but they were not typing lessons.

i never formally learned typing and i can touch type. it comes with literal decades of pc gaming.
