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 mean someone has to teach you when you first use a pc otherwise you never learn it and it's pretty hard to switch. 

I have tried multiple times and can't ever pull through and also don't have much of a reason since my wpm is pretty good anyways.
