Its a dumb reason applied to an adult.

  > applied to an adult. I agree. But this was for his kids when they were kids living at his house. If he want's to maintain the no consoles rule at his house later on, meh whatever. That's his business. Edit: Also, what makes it reasonable to enforce this while his kids were young was that he actively encouraged learning about PC's, not just consumption through a different "Magic Box".

    My children also learned to type very well at a young age because we did not have consoles.

      AIM did more for my typing skills than any of my middle school “keyboarding” classes. a s d f j k l ; Who decided typing that on loop is how you learn to touch type?

        In my case, gaming taught me to type quickly, and keyboarding class taught me to type well. That being said, my keyboarding class included copying out bodies of text as well, not just patterns on loop (There certainly was that though).

          Mario Teaches Typing on win 3.11 or DOS (can't recall which). It looked like a Mario game but progress was controlled by typing correctly.
