[–] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 12 points 3 months ago (2 children) I had a typing class in early high school on a regular old typewriter. We had computers, but not enough for a whole class to learn typing. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago (1 child) We had computers and the typing software made a beep with the PC speaker each time you made a mistake. The beeping summoned the evil teacher to torture you even more, e g. by covering hands and keyboard with a box. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 8 points 3 months ago Later in high school when we got computers, someone discovered that if you shuffle your feet on the carpet to build up static then touched the lock (remember when computers came with a set of keys?!) the computer would reset. "It's not my fault Miss, the computer has reset! Can you help?". (This particular teacher was young, attractive, and sometimes didn't wear a bra). permalink fedilink source parent [–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago In the early 90s, we had little keyboard trainers with a row of LED lines at the top (like calculator screen) that would be carted into the classroom and we'd do lessons as a class. permalink fedilink source parent
