A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is something we see with our students at school. I think we do them a disservice assuming they have skills we had to acquire as technology progressed. Even something as fundamental as typing is not being actively taught.
To be fair, you can't really teach that. We had classes at school which helped a little, but most of my skill came from Chatting on MSN with my school friends...
You can, 10 finger tying / touch typing at least. Someone can't really figure that out for themselves without spending tons of time thinking on an efficient way to type.
