Touch typing is pretty easy. I mean my kids learned it in like third grade. I don't think it's all that hard. You might see a few typos and mistakes, but that's about it really. I mean fucking hell, even I can type with my eyes shut. Now if you were aksing me to text with my eyes shut you might get something like this:
egat fey ahy eduysbf biw.
egat fey ahy eduysbf biw.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
