Who Needs to Type?
You do! Whether you're a student, secretary, office administrator, manager, computer programmer, or engineer-whether you use a PC, laptop, or typewriter-typing is an invaluable skill. It's a skill that can open doors and enhance your career opportunities. In this high-tech world of computer-generated communications (fax, electronic mail, word processing, networks, bulletin boards, and much more), anyone who can't type runs the risk of being excluded from many business transactions.
