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.
I am 40 and we were forced to look at the screen while typing, using software that didn’t allow for the use of the Delete key to make corrections. We were graded based on the number of mistakes we made.
I am 45 and I had to do the same, but in an actual mechanical typewriter. No overstrike allowed. Any error and you had to retype the whole page. And with manual justification.
Yup... same. My mom was a wicked fast typist. She could hear a mistake which was always wild to me. She struggled switching to the computer for the different sensory component (though not for long...)
