Type-to-Learn

No. I can type damn fast but I mostly look at the keyboard (ask anyone from the chatroom gang) and use about six fingers. I keep practicing touch typing, but I'm just way faster the other way. When i was at school, typing class was only taken by those not likely to go to uni and who at best would hope to be secretaries. I didn't learn to type so I could never be a secretary. I took computers or something like that instead. Way back then there was no internet and they were sloooooooow so no need for speed. And all reports had to be hand-written. You weren't even allowed to use typewriters ('cause your mum could've done it for you). Handwriting was the main check against plagiarism.
