I was thrown in a typing class in high-school and I thought to myself "this is a useless class, I'm NEVER going to ever need this".
Interesting, given that I specifically sought out typing class in high school in the late '70s because I was confident that there was going to be a lot of keyboard usage in my future, might as well learn to use it.
And I don't want to hear whinging about subtle mechanical keyboard differences. When you learn at an under-funded rural school with manual typewriters, you also learn to appreciate anything that isn't making your fingers do mechanical printing. :-)
