Which, is why we made both of my adult kids learn to touch type.

Nah I just learned to push harder on the ASR-33 keys ;-)
Funny, back-in-the-day, the local public HS had a typing class for the
girls, which two of my sisters took. The all-male prep-school where my
dad taught and my brothers and I all went, had nothing. But I had access to
an ASR-33 and just migrated to it.
To this day, my wife (who is a concert pianist/organist) can touch type
but she is amazed at watching me with my 2, 3 or 4 finger style.
