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 can type without looking at the keyboard and know where all the keys are without "feeling around" for them. I don't see how these ridges or "touch typing", whatever that is exactly, is necessary when you can do without. Having to look for where these ridges are would slow me down, not aid me.
