When I was a kid I got an ATARI 600XL I'd type in code for hours into memory just to have it fail due to errors. But I got good at typing at only age 14.
Then a few years later as teenagers do in high school I choose typing class since all my friends did. So I learned more typing unusual for a guy at that time mid 1980s.
Then IRC when I got onto the Internet in the early 1990s. You had to type very fast to get in a jab or a joke before someone else did.
Now I'm in IT and typing is ubiquitous.
