The typing thing is interesting. I'm old enough that I learned to type on an IBM Selectric typewriter in the early 1990s (we had Apple IIs in the "computer lab" - but there were two rooms full of typewriters for this class). I did well in general in high school, but I took typing much more seriously than many other classes, because I hadn't yet learned it on my own, and I knew how useful it would be in life. My classmates thought I was nuts (again, I'm sure). But that was one high school class that definitely did help me in "the real world".
So now, despite the ubiquity of computers, it seems they aren't teaching typing.
