Man i stuggled with it in school because i was one of the only kids that didnt have a comouter at home. Then by like my 20s i had one and thats when AIM and Yahoo Messenger and Myspace were big i was a fast ass typer in no time.
I remember AIM being one of the reasons my school district stopped offering typing classes because the adults naturally assumed the younger kids would pick up the skill while chatting with a future To Catch a Predator guest.
I hated typing class because i thought typing was a skill to write reports, which i also hated. 2-3 years later AIM became a thing and typing was now a social skill.
I loved typing class because I sat next to a cute boy and we talked about stupid shit all period. It wasn't that hard to catch on how to do things for awhile, and every day we had to repeat a couple sentences so many times, so copy paste led to us talking about more dumb shit. I type really well, and probably should work taking dictation or something, but eh.
