Touch typing is an essential life skill that needs to taught to all students.

It's more important than driving a car.

Moreover, using AI prompts for novel games as content to be typed would also teach students about writing AI prompts and game design.

I never learned to touch type and had a successful career, now retired. Not driving would have been a big problem - in fact I got am IT job early on where they gave me 6 months to get a licence or I was out!

Oh, and yes I did start on punched cards, but was soon keying in my own code online 50 years ago.

I can touch type. But I don't get why it's a skill in itself. I get the physio part, but not te typing 8n itself.

Could you explain beyond using A for B would allow people to use A for B.
