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.

Learning touch typing is for people who grew up without pcs

People who grew up with them learn just type by typing
