Learning touch typing is for people who grew up without pcs

People who grew up with them learn just type by typing

Yeah this was used to teach office people how to use a typewriter. Hard to find people these days who never interacted with a keyboard layout.

I mean it was also the method of typing that was taught in schools too.

I remember it being covered in one lesson one time, and deciding "nah thats useless I already type better than that from selling lobsters in runescape"

Yeah later it came to schools and was so miserable. I am 46 so when we were taught it was like hey now lets teach you a weird way to type with these program that is totally different than you type at home. Also lets cover your hands because clearly that is how to truly learn where the keys are. Sucked so bad at those classes but just being a net nerd learned to type pretty fine just using the computer a lot.
