I took typing back in junior high school too. Having played guitar, I found typing a snap. High score in the class. hee hee. I ended each lesson thinking, what a was of time, when will I ever type anything in life?? A year later, I took an introduction to computers, where we had to fill out punch cards....hundreds/thousands of them to make the computer do the simplest task.
Funny how the keyboard is the one part of the computer that has stuck around over the years, more of less, unchanged. What will be the interface that replaces it ?? Stay tuned.
