The day has not yet come when our computers understand our thoughts and carry our whims on command. This means we have to tell them what to do, and that means we need to type. The keyboard is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future, so our children are going to have to become proficient on the old QWERTY's at some point in their development.

Parents liked the manner in which the student is challenged and were impressed with the results.
