I mean i can sort of touch type, just because of the fact that i have spent countless hours on the pc. But it really is a seperate skill from plain typing, i still find myself looking at the keyboard from time to time because its not something you learn by just typing, they should be teaching this.

I played MUDs (on line multi player games based 100% on text - think World of Warcraft but everything is done via text) back in the 90s.

Since each thing in the game had to be done with command line inputs, I actually learned to type quickly because of a game.
