A majority of today's keyboard typists have never used a typewriter. It takes a certain amount of strength, plus rhythm to avoid jamming keys together.
Typing was taught as a regular classroom subject in my high school. It was a vocational track, mostly for girls preparing for office/secretarial careers.
I didn't take the course. And fortunately I didn't learn from my dad, who was a two-finger typing newspaper editor.
I learned by writing news scripts for WSIE, my college campus radio station. Radio scripts were all upper case, so there was one less thing to worry about. Shift lock and pound away. Eight fingers fully employed, plus a thumb for the space bar.
Now I type by swirling one finger around on a screen.
