Who here can touch type? Is this a dying skill with most people not using regular keyboards as much any more?

I can technically touch-type on a computer keyboard ... but if you mean an actual type-writer, no! There's no way my laptop-accustomed fingers would be able to cope with whacking keys that hard ... plus, I'm lazy and rest my hands/wrists on the laptop whilst I type!😅

I don't touch-type the numbers and other bits though, I can never remember where they are - plus they're in different places on Macs and Windows computers...🤔

I trained as a secretary back in the late 1980s... on an actual typewriter!

You know what I never understood those funny keyboards in the u shape. What's that about?

@Peppa Suppose to stop you getting RSI because they are shaped to how you hold your hand - there's no stretching. Tried one once but could never get on with it plus swapping back and forth became a pain

@SW-User yeah, surely someone can design something else right. They are weird!
