Basic typing is a skill that pretty much everyone in today’s world should possess. Most schools are teaching with computers, and there are certain schools that even allow children to use their personal laptops for homework and storing lessons. While today’s students are given the benefit of typing lessons within the classroom and typing practice through their schoolwork, this hasn’t always been the case. In the early days, typing was taught to high school girls as it was considered a skill they would need in order to work as a secretary, and the following decades allowed for typing to be taken as an elective course, leaving many adults today lacking in the much needed keyboarding skills that are required for various areas of employment.
