    When I was at the age where computer class was being taught, I was already typing at a higher level. My parents had the entire Encyclopedia Britannica set and there were games on those discs that taught typing. I learned a lot at home because I wanted to long before the school started teaching it.

    So me, grade 4 or 5, already typing at an accelerated level with my own middle-finger led typing technique I taught myself that worked perfectly for my (not yet disagnosed) ADHD-ass brain was literally forced, or I’d fail, to “home key learn” typing. So there’s me, my index fingers on F and J, typing out “sad lad sad lass dad lad” when I could already type complete paragraphs on a keyboard.

    No, I don’t miss that shit. It was so degrading.
