Kicker- I took short hand and key punching in school too, lol. I even remember my short hand speed, 140 wpm . Totally useless now. I also took 'word processing' which was just typing on a computer, .

My kids don't talk on the phone either unless I make them, lol. It's always texting. Sometimes it's faster and easier to make a call but my kids just don't get that.

Growing up we had the big yellow wall phone that would stretch to the bathroom (as long as my dad wasn't home to yell at us about stretching the cord, ).
