Copying my mate’s work (hi, mjoc101) at uni taught me to type. Too many headaches looking at his printout, my screen, my keyboard, forced me to use whatever tool was available on the uni *nix systems.
One of the best things I ever did for myself. If you’re reading this and you don’t touch-type, learn. Now.
(They kicked me out eventually, so nothing good came of the copying.)
- devilbunny 5y agoI was required to learn touch-typing to graduate high school. Early 1990s. My incentive was simple; the class was an hour a day of soul-sucking drudgery, for a full academic year, but if I could just eke out 35 wpm on a test, I could avoid the class entirely. I learned typing the spring before my senior year. And passed. Got to leave school an hour earlier every day. I filled the time by taking another math class.
