So I guess before keyboards I would have failed elementary school, and never received even a basic education. . Since I would not have been able to learn most crafts as well, I would have been dismissed as a slow great ox, incapable of learning anything. Or more likely as too lazy to learn. I don't know what my fate would have been, but it would not have a pleasant one. So I don't have much sympathy for those who mourn the prevalence of keyboards and computers. For me, a world without keyboards would be a nightmare. Without computers, well as long as I had a typewriter it would be tolerable, but computers save me a great deal of misery.
