There are probably enough younger people around who've rare even used a physical keyboard, let alone have formal touch-typing training. I imagine mentioning the 'home row' would usually just get you a blank stare.

Do they no longer teach typing as a mandatory class in ~6th grade? It seems even more relevant now than 16 years ago.

Would you teach typing on a physical keyboard, or on a virtual phone keyboard? A lot of young people don't use laptops/desktops.

They didn't when I was in 6th grade, and that's now quite a few more than 16 years ago.

They would have to be pretty young. I learned touch typing in public school ~20 years ago.
