Interesting stuff; however, the link provided is for protecting yourself from credit card fraudsters...

Honestly, this needed to happen YEARS ago. I'm still shocked at how little is taught in schools about computers in general. We all live on one! We all have a phone, tablet, laptop, whatever. How do people think they get their Candy Crush addiction filled? Someone has to design, develop, program, maintain it.

I wish I'd have been offered any kind of computer classes and I didn't graduate HS too long ago... Heck, I wish I had a typing class at some point instead of just being sat in front of a computer to play "educational" games(glorified flash cards) for 2 hours a week. It took me over 10 years removed from K-12 to realize something was wrong when it was taking me way longer to type up papers and do coding assignments than my peers. Realized I never learned touch typing and had to spend time every day practicing before I even got close to an average typing speed. And it took only the last few years before realizing tech was not just a good career path, but actually my passion!

I took touch typing in high school on an IBM Selectric with blacked out keys (so don't bother looking down). I have to say, it's probably one of the most useful classes I've ever taken in my life.
Both of my kids do touch-typing as well, although they learned from games (but actual typing games).
