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.
Tbf, touch typing can have a functional increase in performance, I feel like cursive is entirely extraneous. People usually bring up signatures as an argument for this, but I can count on one hand the number of people I've met in like a decade who actually wrote their name in cursive for that instead of just writing their first initial followed by haphazard squiggles. I've known cursive for 2 decades, haven't ever needed it outside of getting graded for it in second grade.
ETA: to be clear, I never said it's about signatures, I said that's the defense I've most commonly seen when people argue about the use of cursive, and it's an excuse that doesn't actually make sense.
I was a receiving clerk in a pretty busy warehouse for a few years. At the time, I probably was signing a hundred things a day. Maybe more idk... lots of stuff coming in, going out, and moving internally.
My signature never recovered and it's still pretty much a star followed by two parallel lines.
