My first typewriter class in high school included learning how to type on a manual typewriter. Talk about exercise (!) especially for the pinky fingers.
Honestly, I miss the machinery, the immediate results, and the careful focus so as to not go through such a time consuming process to correct errors.

@forestfern We used computers for my typing class. The old guy who taught it had the easiest job in the world. His attitude was "Just try to improve your speed and accuracy on these exercises, and wake me up if there is a fire." We got super competitive, trying to outdo each other's WPM count on the same exercises over and over again. LOL
