I learned touch typing as a result of MSN messenger, in the dark, with a keyboard that would slide under the desk. I think phone contracts have resulted in a lot of people younger than me not being able to touch type.

My cousin types far faster than me, and he credits Typing of the Dead for that skill.

Yeah I learned how to type in high school in the year 1990. Since the existence of cell phones I have hardly touched a keyboard, maybe once a year when I pull out my laptop to do my taxes. But I was amazed when I learned how to type and amazed how quickly I became a high-speed touch typist and it is a thrill to me that it's a skill I have because it was a little bit hard to learn at first but so proud that I got it and it feels like magic to be a touch typist!
