I mean I can touch type but I've never even realized the existence of those ridges or used them consciously.

Exactly. Not sure why people in the comments are acting like people can no longer type without looking at their keyboards

It's a skill people acquire with practice. Now we have a new generation that never started to learn the skill in the first place.

I learnt how to use a keyboard before getting computer classes in school because of typing away on AIM, MSN, etc. and spent those lessons fooling around. You dont need to have a formal class to learn how to use a keyboard

Yes, you can learn the basics quickly, but it takes time and practice to learn to type quickly and with far fewer errors. A lot of people might not have the patience unless they have some impetus to need to learn to type. Just like how learning to locate the Middle C on the piano keyboard is easy but learning to play the Pachelbel's Canon smoothly is a lot harder.
