Can you relate? Does it ring a bell? When I first sat down to learn to type, my typewriter rang a bell to let me know it was time to take the carriage return and give it a little help so that I could return and continue typing. When I was in typing class, my electric typewriter was broken most of the time and I used a manual typewriter for the most part. I’m so thankful for that little manual as it taught me all I need to know about typing and gives me a great appreciation for my wonderful keyboard that I use today. Can you believe that we actually had to learn to center back then? We had to manually set our margins, and scroll our paper in and get it all situated such that it was all lined up nice and even. We could not change the font if we were board with it or use all the other cool tools Microsoft Word offers us. We’ve come a long way baby!
Does anyone remember their first typing class and how they learned to type? Well I sure do and to this day I don’t take that class for granted. As a matter of fact, I think typing is the class I benefit from most. I’m so happy I elected to take typing in high school, little did I know at that time that one day I would have my very own desktop computer. I type each and every day and don’t even think about where the keys are anymore. It’s just like learning to ride a bike or learning to swim, once you learn, it stays with you for life.
Hubby and I use what’s called the game room on the second floor of our home for our office. It’s a nice size room where we both have our computers and bookshelves set up and the place where we retire at the end of the day. We both love computers and spending time together so it’s our way of being together, chatting about our current events and calling it a day.
