What did you learn to type on?

I learned typing in the 80s using a typewriter, using a very old practice book. But it needs patience to keep practising, so in stead I asked to have a real assignment to type a textbook for the school. And I did. It is a must to learn standard typing. I notised some of my former colleagues of native speakers, who type using only two or four fingures, very slow, and they have to move their eyes up and down to follow the keyboard.

I learned to type on the typewriter as well. I hated that class, because of the crazy ol goggles we had to wear if we were caught looking at our fingers. So glad those days are over with.

well, i was taught to type or use the computer when i was in high school. And by that time, the computer has already been in it's more refined staged. So i got to learn how to type using the keyboard we use today.

In the nursing where my fathwer i once saw a typewriter.I tried writing on it but goes so irritated when i couldn't corrct a spelling and had to rewrite.But then i lerned to wok on a computer and eversince never even thought of going back to that old clitte-clatter machine

I learned to type myself on a brother typewriter that I had as a teen when I was going to write my big novel Then I had one of those Amstrad word processor things with the noisy printer. I see don't consider myself a good typist but I get by. And after all these years the novel is still not written

yes,i also experienced on how to use and type words by using of this antique type writer,i learned from that on how to set the margin and indent manually,and the most that i will never forget in type writer is no delete tab but it has back space tab.

I learned on a manual typewriter. I bought it along with a book that taught me how and practiced until I could do it. The first time I used an electric typewriter I hated it. Then came along word processors and that made it easier because you could fix your mistakes as you went. Now... 45 years later, my "delete" key is worn more than any other key.

I learned to type in 1990's onwards. I hubby's had a portable manual type writer. He told me to help him by typing and I started to learn. But it was not lasted for a long. But I was a very bad student and quit it.

In learned to type in the 1960's on a manual typewriter. I could type 55 wpm. Then the next year we got to type on electric typewriters. The typing teacher would threaten to shut our machines off in the middle of a typing test if he did not think we were going fast enough. I do not remember him actually doing it but it brought my speed down to 15 wpm with a bunch of errors. When I really got going with speed is when I did medical transcription for 12 or more hours a day, seven days a week. I think I got to typing between 90 and 100 wpm. Typing on a laptop would have seemed like traveling the galaxy in the 1960's. We did not even have typewriters that self corrected or white out. We used erasable typing paper and a typing eraser. The teacher would hold up our papers to the light to see if he could see where we rubbed a part of the paper away during correction. If he could see something we were marked down. You can have the old days!
